Condensing ErrorDocument directives

.htaccess

Is there a shorter way of doing this, since I am using the same pages? Thanks.

ErrorDocument 400 /error.html
ErrorDocument 401 /authentication.html
ErrorDocument 403 /forbidden.html
ErrorDocument 404 /error.html
ErrorDocument 405 /forbidden.html

Is there a shorter way...?

Not that I know of.

For errors other than 403 and 404, you might just let the server use the default Apache error document, since human visitors are unlikely to "see" those. If you do use user-authentication, then you'd also want a custom 401 page, but otherwise, you probably only need 403 and 404.

Thanks Jim. My host instead uses it's own spammy error pages, that's why I want to cover all the bases.

Right, then. May I have the spam, spam, spam, 403-Forbidden page, spam, spam, and spam without the spam, please?

... a take-off on an old Monty Python skit.

(Sitting here imagining a 404-Not Found Apache error page with Adsense on it for Viagra...) :)

In that case, you certainly want to handle them all yourself!
