Topic: Custom error page apache with mod_proxy

[sanderbhg]

I'm trying to setup a custom error page (reverse proxy is apache)

Service Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

**Additionally, a 503 Service Unavailable error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.**

But the error page isn't loaded if I stop my tomcat server for example (503 error)

And I receive the message above not my .HTML message

my config looks like this:

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin XXX
ServerName XXX


# Possible values: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog XXX
CustomLog XXX
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
ErrorDocument 503 /503.html

<Directory />
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>

ProxyPreserveHost On
<Location />
AddDefaultCharset Off
Require all granted
ProxyPass ajp://XXX:XXX/ disablereuse=on
</Location>

If I changed the line ErrorDocument to foo instead of /503.html I see foo so it looks like the .HTML isn't loaded by the config? Is there someone who can help me with it?

Sorry, I've only just spotted this post, and no one else has replied.

Believe you need to add the ProxyErrorOverride directive as detailed here - https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxyerroroverride
