if your on unix, can you place a soft link in each of the
virtual directories that point to one central location, or
will that mess with security of apache?

Yeah it looks like that's what I have to do. The only thing that stinks
about that is having to make 3 symlinks:
error docs, css, and one for an images directory. Better than recreating
the files everywhere but not as nice as simply pointing to one area in the
filesystem in the main config.

Thanks,

Sean

I'm not sure exactly what your question is. If you define an ErrorDocument
outside the <VirtualHost> container, it will apply to all virtualhosts. You
just need to be careful that the URL is valid for all hosts. For example,
the following could be placed outside any vhost section. The Alias makes
the URL valid for all vhosts:

Alias /errors/ /usr/local/apache/errors/
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/notfound.html

That works fine for the files themselves but any associated css and image
folders need to be present within the original vhost file structure.
