[AOLSERVER] Customized Error Pages

[Wolfgang Winkler]

Hi!

I've installed a vanilla AOLServer 4.5 and I'am trying to customize the
404 Page.

I've this block in my tcl configuration:

ns_section "ns/server/${servername}/redirects"
ns_param 404 "/notfound.tcl" ;# Not Found error page

And a simple

ns_return 200 "text/html" "OK"; return

in my corresponding tcl file, but this file is never called.

Has anybody succeeded in creating custom tcl files?

thanks,

wiwo

Hello Wolfgang,

Yes, I have a configuration like that working like a charm.

Those lines are ok, just make sure that the variable ${servername}
matches the host you're actually configuring, and the the notfound.tcl
file is stored in the root folder for that server.

You can test it out, just asking the server to return that file directly
(i.e. http://your-server/notfound.tcl ). If it works, then it's a
problem with the configuration, very probably that ${servername} is not
properly set.

If it doesn't work, then it's a problem of permissions on the file, or
that the notfound.tcl file is not in the root folder of the server.

Kind Regards,

Juan José

Make sure enabletclpages is set to true in nsd.tcl. By default it is
set to false, meaning that .tcl files won't run from under pageroot.

ns_section "ns/server/${servername}"
...
ns_param enabletclpages true ;# Parse *.tcl files in pageroot.
...

/s.

To answer my own question:

I've checked out the AOLServer sources from cvs and copied the nsd binary to
my aolserver/bin directory. After a restart the redirects worked.

Maybe it's time for a 4.5.1 release?

Absolutely. Would you like to help prepare it for us? That would be
fantastic ... :-)

Seriously, would someone like to take on the role of preparing the NEWS
and CHANGES text for releases? I guess these are elements that probably
should also be tracked in CVS and maintained by everyone?
