I have a joomla website installed and working good. i installed Qlue404 component which redirects 404 page to a custom page., sometimes when i try the symbols ' and some others the 404 page appears with the message "Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."
also it shows the server information
*Apache mod_fcgid/2.3.6 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at mywebsite.com Port 80*

how can i disable this message? i swear this leads to get all information for a hacker to do an Sql Injection.

From Apache's docs:


Use of ErrorDocument is enabled for .htaccess files when the
AllowOverride is set accordingly.

Here are some examples...

ErrorDocument 500 /cgi-bin/crash-recover
ErrorDocument 500 "Sorry,
our script crashed. Oh dear"
ErrorDocument 500 xxx/
ErrorDocument 404 /Lame_excuses/not_found.html
ErrorDocument 401 /Subscription/how_to_subscribe.html

The syntax is,

ErrorDocument <3-digit-code> where the action can be,


Text to be displayed. Prefix the text with a quote ("). Whatever follows the quote is displayed. Note: the (") prefix isn't displayed.
An external URL to redirect to.
A local URL to redirect to.



Basically what you want to do is place this snippet in a .htaccess file in your root web directory to contain this (obviously you will want to change the URL to one you prefer):

ErrorDocument 404 /my-custom-404-page.html
