I come to you because I am facing a problem with the customization of  
the  
401 error page in fact I use Nginx and rutorrent, I proceeded as  
follows:

I create a folder named “error\_pages” I placed in the /var/www/  
then I created my pages 400.html 401.html 403.html 404.html 503.html  
50x.html

I created the page “error\_pages.conf”  
(/etc/nginx/conf.d/error\_pages.conf)  
and I placed the code below

error\_page 400 /error\_pages/400.html;  
location = /400.html {  
root /var/www/;  
}

error\_page 401 /error\_pages/401.html;  
location = /401.html {  
root /var/www/;  
auth\_basic off;  
allow all;  
}

error\_page 403 /error\_pages/403.html;  
location = /403.html {  
root /var/www/;  
allow all;  
}

error\_page 404 /error\_pages/404.html;  
location = /404.html {  
root /var/www/;  
auth\_basic off;  
internal;  
}

error\_page 503 /error\_pages/503.html;  
error\_page 500 501 502 504 /error\_pages/50x.html;  
location ^~ /error\_pages {  
root /var/www/;  
internal;  
}

Then in the file “rutorrent.conf” located in the  
“/etc/nginx/sites-enabled”  
the following code:

server {  
listen 443 default\_server ssl http2;  
……  
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/error\_pages.conf;  
.….

I restart nginx services.

But obviously my custom error page is not displayed in place of the  
original  
one and I do not see why.

Can you help me ?

Thank you
