In PHP website development, when users make an error when accessing the website and cannot find the page, HTTP 404 and 403 error messages will appear. In order to improve the user experience, we need to customize 404 and 403 error pages to prompt the user for the next step or automatically Jump to the appropriate access page.

The method of customizing error pages 404 and 403 is mainly configured through apache or htaccess. The htaccess method of configuring error pages is suitable for virtual host users. The following details the configuration tutorial for error pages 404 and 403.

The methods for setting 404 and 403 error pages in apache and htaccess are basically the same. If you use htaccess for configuration, be sure to enable the htaccess configuration function. For details, please refer to the PHP recommended tutorial: Using apache and htaccess to set password protection for directory access configuration tutorial.
