Well, I think we are not talking about all error messages of Apache, but just the ones like a 404 error reply. A long time ago I've created a package for almost all error messages in german, english, french and spanish. It's still available at http://www.home.unix-ag.org/sfx/apache/customerror/customerror.tar.gz (doesn't include the french files). But the documenation and intro page at http://www.home.unix-ag.org/sfx/apache/customerror/ is currently only available in german. I've used SSI to separate the actual HTML markup from the error messages itself and to make the package easy to install/configure and of course to use some of the SSI functionality. Here are two examples how the result may look like: http://www.home.unix-ag.org/404 [only german, english] http://www.cablewireless.de/404 [german, english, spanish, frensh] But the package is more or less unmaintained at the moment. It could be updated by adding some more tricks which are now possible with newer version of Apache, e.g. use of the ERROR_NOTES variable. And some of the newer error messages are missing of course. Maybe my stuff can be used as starting point for a default package for the Apache 2.0 distribution. ciao... -- Lars Eilebrecht - As I said before, I never repeat myself.
