<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a web server running SME Server from Mitel (red hat based) with apache. I need to customise the response from apache when it can not find a specific web page on the server.<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
A person trys to view a page on our web site which has been deleted or moved. It will currently throw up &quot;Error 404 not found&quot; We need to auotmatically send them back to the index.htm page &quot;of that domain&quot; and not throw up an error page. <br />
<br />
Where can we customise this in apache?<br />
<br />
Is there a solution available?<br />
<br />
Kind regards<br />

How to customise the 404 not found reponse frpm Apache

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
