+ The <option>ErrorDocument</option> directive allows you to specify a document or a message to be displayed as a response to a particular error. It takes the following form:
+ </para>
+ <screen>ErrorDocument <replaceable>error-code</replaceable> <replaceable>action</replaceable></screen>
+ <para>
+ The <replaceable>error-code</replaceable> has to be a valid code such as <literal>403</literal> (Forbidden), <literal>404</literal> (Not Found), or <literal>500</literal> (Internal Server Error). The <replaceable>action</replaceable> can either be a URL (both local and external), or a message string enclosed in double quotes (that is, <literal>"</literal>).

- <para>
- The <command>ErrorDocument</command> directive associates an HTTP response code with a message or a URL to be sent back to the client. By default, the Web server outputs a simple and usually cryptic error message when an error occurs. The <command>ErrorDocument</command> directive forces the Web server to instead output a customized message or page.
