If you want different errors in different directories, then put an
.htaccess in the directory and link it to the error page as above:
ErrorDocument XXX /path_to/file
For XXX use the correct error number. 404 is a PAGE NOT FOUND. You
wanted a 401 AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED.
Mostly only the 400s are used. You can check your logs to see if any
particular errors show up more than others or several times.
*Client Request Errors*
400 Bad Request
401 Authorization Required
402 Payment Required (not used yet)
403 Forbidden
404 Not Found
405 Method Not Allowed
406 Not Acceptable (encoding)
407 Proxy Authentication Required
408 Request Timed Out
409 Conflicting Request
410 Gone
411 Content Length Required
412 Precondition Failed
413 Request Entity Too Long
414 Request URI Too Long
415 Unsupported Media Type
