10.2.2.5. Error Documents

To use a hard-coded message with the ErrorDocument directive, the message should be enclosed in a pair of double quotation marks ", rather than just preceded by a double quotation mark as required in Apache HTTP Server 1.3.

For example, the following is a sample Apache HTTP Server 1.3 directive:

ErrorDocument 404 "The document was not found

To migrate an ErrorDocument setting to Apache HTTP Server 2.0, use the following structure:

ErrorDocument 404 "The document was not found"

Note the trailing double quote in the previous ErrorDocument directive example.
