Add an Apache Error Handler to SMF

[sshahnawaz]

Thanks very much for such a nice modification to SMF. I have a small problem, I want to add a few lines more to the default error message which this mod provides. Is there any way to do it? Thanks in advance... 

[Sabre™]

Edit the ApacheError.template.php and add your text to your Modifications.english.php

[sshahnawaz]

Thanks for a quick response. 
Where do these exist, i.e. ApacheError.template.php and Modifications.english.php... I just want to add one line or two in the error display message. Is it necessary to change ApacheErro.template for that or it is enough to just add those lines in Modifications.english.php?

[Sabre™]

Yes you could add those lines to an existing string in  Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php, or rewrite the string,
or add your own into the template  Themes/default/ApacheError.template.php, and add the text to your  Modifications.english.php
eg. add $txt['your_message'] = 'insert text here'; to your Modifications.english.php
then add ', $txt['your_message'] ,' where you would like the text to display in the ApacheError.template.php

Editing an existing string in your Modifications.english.php would be easier for some.

Good luck

[sshahnawaz]

Thank you very much for your good answer. I have solved this issue. Glad to know how to make this change and others if necessary.

I have weighed the usefulness of Pretty URLs mod vs this mod.  I have chosen this mod.  I had to add a little code to auto-redirect users from old "pretty" URLs to their un-pretty counterparts, but I like this mod

This is interesting because i removed my pretty url mod for this too but i cant do the code to redirect to pretty urls already indexed by google.
Its generating hundreds of errors an hour .

Please can someone help me here ?

[carderne]

I have this mod installed together with Pretty URLs and I moved the code for this mod to the bottom of .htaccess. The problem now is that any address just redirects to the home page, instead of displaying the proper error message.

Here are the contents of my .htaccess file:

# PRETTYURLS MOD ENDS


[Sabre™]

Try [THIS] solution.
I have not tried it, but it seems to have worked for others.

[coolfx350]

If you think SEO is not important then yes, this mod is awesome, but if you want google traffic, Pretty URL is one of the most important mod out there.

I would give pretty url up.  I wish the author will make this mod compatible with URL.

[dougiefresh]

Thank you for the wonderful mod!  I thought I'd let everybody know that when I updated my forum from 2.0 RC5 to 2.0 Gold, I had to reinstall all my mods.  This mod installed without issues and without emulation.  Hope this info helps someone!

[Vutrox]

I installed this mod before reading this, and I fu**ed up, because I have pretty URLs.. now, can someone tell me what to do, and how can I uninstall this mod (I don't have access to the administrator panel - it shows 404 error) - sry for bad English! xD

[KensonPlays]

Will this work on 2.0.1?

[HR]

Resolved log seperation..

ApacheError.php (in Sources) change 'user' to 'apache'

   log_error($context['apache_err_msg'] . ' (' . $context['request_url'] . ')', 'apache');

in Errors.php (also in Sources) add apache as a category:

   // What types of categories do we have?
   $known_error_types = array(
      'apache',
      'general',
      'critical',
      'database',
      'undefined_vars',
      'user',
      'template',
      'debug',
   );


Now when sorting errors I can determine what is server related and what is a dum dum error (user).

[Webdzr]

I have this mod installed along with pretty urls and everything works great. I just had to put the code below the pretty urls in the .htaccess.

The only problem i have with this mod is that it does show an error message to the user however the header that is sent
always returns 200 ok.

Also the urls like hxxp:mysite.com/non_exist_page [nonactive] always redirects to the home page its only when the url is like hxxp:mysite.com/non_exist_page.php [nonactive] does it
go to the error page.

If these two problems were incorperated into this mod it would probably be the most important mod to have.

If anybody knows how to make this mod send out the correct header codes please let me know im having a really hard time with this.

Thank You

[bearstreet]

I included the code for apache handler after pretty urls code in .htaccess ans it seems to be working fine

if anyone is having problems with this mod in union with pretty urls, just include the code for pretty urls before apache handler in your .htaceess and it will work fine

google webmaster has guidelines to put 404 error widget by placing a code in eror page
http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=136085

where should i paste this code?

I pasted this code in
Themes/default/ApacheError.template.php
and this was the result
(see the pic attached)

where should i paste the code so th at the 404 error widget shows up inside the error 404 page and not like what I have in the screenshot
