If you are new to htaccess , Create htaccess file by rename any file with ".htaccess" name.

Now you can write rules & conditions for invalid urls

Some common error code:

• 401 - Authorization Required
• 400 - Bad request
• 403 - Forbidden
• 500 - Internal Server Error
• 404 - Page Not Found

To redirect to error page we can use following :

Syntax :

ErrorDocument ERROR_CODE /ERROR_REDIRECT_FILE.html

Examples :

ErrorDocument 404 /error_404.html

ErrorDocument 500 /somefolder/error_500.html

Some More Examples

• RewriteRule ^/$ /homepage.html [L]
• RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  
  RewriteRule ^(.+)errata\.html?$ cgi-bin/errata/errata-html/$1
  
  (Rewrites can be conditional, for example, rewrite only if the file could not be found: )
  
• RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ index.php?param1=$1¶m2=$2 [L]
  
  (Match if url passed like "http://www.mysite.com/value1/value2/" then redirect to http://www.mysite.com/index.php?param1=value1¶m2=value2)
