❗ This post is over eleven years old. It may no longer be up to date. Opinions may have changed.

This little nginx config snippet shows you how to catch all error codes and show a single unified error page.

Recently I removed all Google Ads from this site due to their invasive tracking, as well as Google Analytics. Please, if you found this content useful, consider a small donation using any of the options below:

I'm developing an open source monitoring app called Leaf Node Monitoring, for windows, linux & android. Go check it out!

Consider sponsoring me on Github. It means the world to me if you show your appreciation and you'll help pay the server costs.

You can also sponsor me by getting a Digital Ocean VPS. With this referral link you'll get $200 credit for 60 days. Spend $25 after your credit expires and I'll get $25!

This will respond to all HTTP error codes and return the error.html page from the site root folder.

error_page 400 401 402 403 404 405 406 407 408 409 410 411 412 413 414 415 416 417 418 420 422 423 424 426 428 429 431 444 449 450 451 500 501 502 503 504 505 506 507 508 509 510 511 /error.html;
location  /error.html {
    internal;
}

Official documentation on error page. Sadly, there is no wildcard for this.
