Custom Error Responses - S1WS 6.1

Question

Hello
Iam trying to create custom error responses. I did this thru Admin , Class Manager.
I gave the absoulte path to file which contains error messages for the HTTPcodes (Not Found, Unauthorized etc)..
When i did testing, the browser still gets 404 back. I did verify whether obj.conf has the settings. I also restared the web server. The setting was selected for "Entire Web Server".
Please help.
Thanks

I'm not sure I understand. Even if you specify a custom error page, the server will continue to send a response with a 404 HTTP status code. It will use the contents of your page for the body, but the HTTP status code will still be 404.
If you're not really concerned about the HTTP status code but rather the body of the response, check the log files:
1. Check the errors log. Is the server trying to tell you something?
2. Check the access log. Is the server getting the request? Is the server sending your file (check the response size, it should match the size of your file)?
If there's nothing in errors and access suggests the server is sending your file, the browser may be choosing not to display your error page. Microsoft Internet Explorer does this when the page is below a certain size. Try increasing the size of your error page.
