I'm looking for how & where to configure the 404 & error pages for my site. We are running LiveSite 7.3.2 on a WebSPhere application server in Linux. Any assistance is appreacited.
When you create a new site, you will specifiy the error page. The content will be a typical page not found and a link to the home or search pages.
However that is for Tomcat/WLS/WS and not for Apache so you will need to forward errors accordingly.
Also note that the LiveSite error page is only used when LiveSite knows which site you're asking for (i.e. you're using that site's docroot). If it can't figure out which site you want, then you get the generic 404/500 for the whole server, which are /iw/errors/InvalidSite.jsp and /iw/errors/Error.jsp respectively (unless your web.xml says otherwise).
That is a common issue.
1st I try to redirect old links to new ones. That you do for the most important pages. Others use a general redirect (say replace .html with .page and prepend the site) and then get it to LSDS to determine and (likely) throw an error.
