Hmm. Everything seems to be working. I changed all the pages to .php.
and every link I've tried seems to be working just fine.
Except, now my custom error pages don't work. I left the .html error
pages on the server but I got the server's default 404 page instead of
mine. Then I thought, "Oh, right, dummy, change them to .php files!"
So I did. But I'm still getting the server's 401, 403 and 404 error pages.
My .htaccess file:
RedirectMatch 301 (.*)\.html$ http://edmullen.net$1.php
ErrorDocument 404 /404_error_not_found.php
ErrorDocument 403 /403_error_forbidden.php
ErrorDocument 401 /401_error_unauthorized.php
If I go to http://edmullen.net/bob.html, the server sends me to
http://edmullen.net/bob.php. Since that file doesn't exist, I get a 404
error but it isn't MY custom error page.
If I go to http://edmullen.net/bob.jpg I DO get sent to my custom 404
page since, obviously, there's no redirection of .jpg files.
Any ideas?
My brain hurts. I'm gonna go get a drink.

I wonder how much deeper would the ocean be without sponges.
