Simple HTTP error pages collection

This is collection of following HTTP error pages to show to user instead of regular black-white versions as you get from default Apache HTTP Server or some others.

You should know, that Apache has build-in support for multi language error pages and mine is not, english only (as for now). It may be important depending on project you are working on.

All you need to do is to replace following patterns:
1) replace your site link

<a href="http://your-site/" title="http://your-site/">Home page</a>

2) and your e-mail and name

<a href="mailto:your-name@your-site" title="Your Name">Web-admin</a>

Now, you need to configure your front-end.

Things TODO:
1) want to make tool, for auto generation of these files and to inject there you name and home page links (probably on Java).
2) need to add some open source license

frontend + backend = nginx + apache

hi! this weekend was a bit hot for me, cause i decided to implement Front-end and back-end architecture on my home server (my home machine is, usually, platform for many tests about performance or new technology stuff, that i after use at work).

so i wanted it. and i decided that it will be nginx as front, and my old friend apache as back.

why nginx? i saw that many internet projects i track in my day job (especially at .ru zone) uses it. one thing that i want to mention, that it not so many docs in english, but you always can ask somebody.

very useful was getting started from nginx's author. but it's not always enough - Using Nginx As Reverse-Proxy Server On High-Loaded Sites (russian version) and Заметки о ipb, apache, nginx can solve you too.

after day and a half, i win ;-) and now i has tuned nginx+apache for my 4 virtual hosts. in next article, i will post about install process (and probably after tuning).
