I'm developing my site in modx, and have some custom error pages that I want to group in a folder called "error", and I want them to only be accessible through domain.com/error/page.html. I've already placed the custom error pages in a container called error, which basically looks like the image below.
Only the pages are still only accessible from the root (so from domain.com/page.html), even though they are now in the "error" container. How do I change it so that when people see my error pages, they'll see the url: "domain.com/error/page.html"? Does anyone know how to do this?
p.s.: I've already figured out that I can influence the url of a page by typing the desired url in its "alias"-field. So an alias of "error/page" would mean it can be found at "domain.com/error/page.html".
But the weird thing is that this no longer works when I put the pages in an "error" folder. When I do that I can access the folder itself through domain.com/error, but no longer the pages in the folder at domain.com/error/page.html
Look in your system settings for the error page & access denied page, just set those to the IDs of the custom pages you have created. If you want custom pages for other error codes, you may have to use some redirect rules in an htaccess or apache config file. Some of them will probably never work [like 500 errors] in which case you would have to use a static html file & the server configuration to point to it.
as for setting the path - you will have to set your furls [more system settings] to "use friendly alias path'
also - clear your cache, with modx when in doubt clear the cache...

I have created a website using css, js and jquery, and everything works fine on my local machine, but after uploading it to the server, it was only reading the index.html file, leaving out the css and js. Below you can see the website's structure, after being uploaded to the server, on FileZilla.
enter image description here
I have decided to delete everything, re-check the paths and upload them again, but now all I get is a "403 Forbidden" message, saying that "You don't have permission to access / on this server."
Check file permissions of all the files.
Triple check file paths
/www/style.css
./www/style.css
^ Notice this dot
The above are two completely differnet paths. My guess is, that the second one is the correct one and should lead to style in your specific example
When a website doesn't have an index.html file, the navigator displays an auto generated page right ?
Here is an example of what I mean.
This page is very handful to explore a website, but sadly it is only displayed when there is no index.html page.
Is it possible to access such a page on a website, even though index.html exists in the folder ?
I'm using Opera, but I have tried other navigators and none of the common ones seems to do what I want ^^
Thanks for reading
This is not an auto generated page. It is directory browsing of server which can be enabled/disabled through server control panel (or using .htaccess in linux servers).
When you have default document (like index.html) in a folder, the server servs the default document instead of directory browsing. So if you want to let directory browsing when you have index.html, you have to clear the index.hmtl from the list of default documents. This can be done using IIS settings (if you have access to server) or through hosting control panel in website settings (in shared hostings) (or by direct editing of web.config or .htaccess)
the navigator displays an auto generated page
No. This has nothing to do with the browser. The browser displays whatever the server returns. Nothing more, nothing less.
What you're seeing on that link is from the Apache web server. That web server is configured to (and can be configured not to) return a generated directory listing when no default response can be determined.
The "default response" might be index.html, or default.html, or literally anything that the web server is configured to look for by default. (Those are just, well, the common defaults.)
In many modern web applications the concept of a "page" doesn't even really mean the same thing, because things like MVC frameworks don't just browse directories for .html files but instead examine requested routes and generate responses from code.
Is it possible to access such a page on a website, eventho index.html exist in the folder ?
No. Because that "page" doesn't exist. The web server returned that to you because it was configured to. If it's not configured to then that data doesn't exist.
When creating a new database through PHPMyAdmin and trying to access localhost/newdatabase, I get this message:
"Object not found! The requested URL was not found on this server. If
you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404 localhost Apache/2.4.34 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.1.0i PHP/7.2.9"
The file doesn't show in xampp/htdocs either, only in xampp/mysql/data.
If i create files directly in htdocs, they work perfectly on localhost/.
Why has the file not been created in htdocs?
The content of the htdocs folder are files that can be interpreted by the browser such as HTML5, CSS, JS, etc... in order to show a webpage along with it's funcionality to whoever accesses it. A database in the other hand can't directly be opened by a browser, but rather accessed within the server by a backend language like PHP, in order to get the information that can be stored in it through tables. You seem to be new to web programming, so I'd recommend to quickly google some beginner tutorials that can help you to understand the most important concepts. To take on from your kind of confusion, I'd point you to expand your knowledge on these concepts:
HTML5
CSS
PHP
MySQL
Once you get the grasp of them and identify each by their core funcionality, you'll be good on your way to make webpages. Later on you'll find yourself with demands like making your webpage look nice and clear, and also to make it load fast, but there's time for everything and the concepts I pointed are the best start for you.
if you wanna open your database URL = http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
File directory ~ xampp/htdocs for source code such as extension file .php .html .js or other.
if you wanna load localhost a URL is http://localhost:80 (auto find index file to first load)
Sample given as image folder for my code. Hope that can help you to understand xampp
So I have a Site created with Typo3. I also have a domain which is linked to the folder of the Typo3 Installation. www.example.org
I created a Subdomain and linked it to the same folder and used the Main Domain for something else.
But now everything on the Subdomain still has the URL Structure of the main site so when I open up sub.example.org all the Links and Images still have the URL from www.example.org/...
I exported the Database and replaced every URL with notepad++ and imported it again. But that didnt change anything. What do I do wrong?
There are two (three with realurl) places where you need to look if changing the domain of a TYPO3 site, if everything is done by the book and noone hardcoded the domain all over the place or something.
Usually you do not need to work in the database directly.
After doing the changes, make sure to clear the caches (install tool in 6.2+, "all caches" in earlier versions).
First:
There are two TypoScript settings that influence the generated URL: config.baseURL and config.absRefPrefix.
The recommended way to use those is to not set config.baseURL (would result in a <base> tag in the HTML <head>), and set config.absRefPrefix to the subpath where TYPO3 is, relative to the document root. If TYPO3 lies directly in the document root, set it to /.
Second:
In the database, there are "Domain Records". They are usually located on the root page of a site. Change those to the new domain.
Third (with realurl only):
Check the realurl configuration file, usually located in typo3conf/realurl_conf.php. Depending on your setup, the old domain name is used there and needs to be changed.
Making updates on my website, there are a lot of pages that I don't use left. So I delete them.
Unfortunately some slight idexing has been made by search engine so when u type the name of website of mine it appears non more existent pages too in browser results.
I need to create a custum 404 page not found that appears everytime people go on pages that doesn't exist, respecting google SEO policy and w3c standards.
Unfortunately I can't.
Someone could teach me please?
Make a .html document in your webserver or website's directory in the htdocs then make a new folder that is called "err", then upload all your Error pages like 404, The page cannot be found or 403, Forbidden. Then place those files in the err folder and re-name them to the error codes. If you are using cPanel then search (Using the search bar) or find (By browsing the tools listed) Error Pages. Go from there with the instructions given on cPanel.
Hope this helps you,

Create a static page containing your custom message and anything else you want (eg. site layout etc.) and save it somewhere appropriate within your site (eg. from the root: /errors/404.asp). Within that page make sure you write a 404 response header (eg. Response.Status = "404 Page Not found")
In IIS (the option will also be available somewhere similar under Apache if you are running that) open up the settings for your website and choose 'Error Pages' then look for the status code 404 (by default there should be one but you may need to create it) open that up and choose the option 'Execute a URL on this site' and enter the url chosen above /error/404.asp)
