Re: [AOLSERVER] Custom server error page crash
Hi Tom,
Yup, that seemed to do the trick.
Thanks!

So how would we register something for the PROPFIND method? Would it be
something like:
ns_register_proc PROPFIND /500.html something
...where something points to a TCL proc? It sounds like there isn't a
way to point directly to a static HTML file for PROPFIND requests. Is
that correct?

The problem comes about when *nothing* is registered for these methods.
I've known this for quite a long time but have never tried tracking it
down internally within AOLserver.
Be nice if someone wanted to do that ...

Hello Scott, In the configuration file, you must give the ABSOLUTE path to the error page. After changing that, restart the server and test it out.

Re: [AOLSERVER] Custom server error page crash
Is anything registered to handle the PROPFIND method? I'm just guessing that could be part of the problem. Also, does /500.html exist? Do you have any other debugging turned on? What other handlers do you have setup? tom jackson On Wed, 2008-07-09 at 19:15 -0700, William Scott Jordan wrote: Hey all!
