3.6 Specifying an Administrator E-Mail Address for Inclusion in Error Messages

If users receive an error message, such as a 404 Not Found error, you can include the e-mail address of the Apache administrator as a means of providing customers with a method of notifying you about problems on your Web site or with your Web applications.

For example, if you specified john@digitalairlines.com as the value of the ServerAdmin directive and a user received a 404 Not Found error, a text message would include john@digitalairlines.com as the administrator to contact for further assistance.

The ServerAdmin directive sets the e-mail address that the server includes in any error messages it returns to the client.

On the Network Settings page:

  1. Specify a valid e-mail address users should contact about error messages.

  2. Click Save > Save to save your changes.

    or

    Click Save > Save and Apply to save your changes and restart Apache so your changes are immediately put into effect.

    For information about where configuration information is stored, see Section 2.3.3, Saving Configuration Changes and Restarting Apache in Apache Manager.

For information about customizing the error messages themselves, see Section 3.9, Managing Error Responses.
