First make a layout/page that you want to use as the 403 error page. Save it as 403.html. Upload this file to your server. Open notepad and type this : ErrorDocument 403 http://www.yoursite.com/403.html If you already have a .htaccess file, just add the above line on top of everything in that file and save it. Change the "yoursite.com" to your domain name. Save this file as .htaccess and upload it to the root directory of your site via FTP. Go to http://yoursite.com/403.html and see how it looks :) Note: Questions regarding this tutorial should be asked here. « Back
