    1. What you see when logged in. - Top

    If you login FTP as the main domain owner, you should be placed in directory where you will see a html and cgi-bin. You will put your webpages in the html and your cgi-scripts in the cgi-bin.

    If you back out one directory you will be in the main home directory where all the domains user directories are located.

    Back out another directory and you will be in the domains base directory and the hierchy will look as follows:

    bin
    dev
    home
    lib
    root
    tmp
    usr
    var

    The home directory is where you just came from. The var directory is where you will find the spool directory for your mail. You do have ownership of these files and can access them if needed. The other directories have system files located in them and you dont have permission in the unix system to change or view these.

    3. How do I configure a custom error page? - Top

    For the site in question, create a .htaccess file in the main HTML directory.

    /home/userid/webdocs/.htaccess

    Add the following line:

    ErrorDocument 404 /name-of-error-doc.html

    You must specify a path so Apache knows where to get the file.
