This plugin lets you use the IkiWiki CGI script as an Apache 404 handler,
to give the behaviour of various other wiki engines where visiting a
nonexistent page provides you with a link to create it.

To achieve this, put something like this in the wiki's Apache configuration
file:

    ErrorDocument 404 /ikiwiki.cgi

(The path here needs to be whatever the path is to the ikiwiki.cgi from
the root of your web server.)
rename apache404 -> 404 This may already work with other web servers that have copied apache's interface, and it should be easy to add support to it for web servers that use some other interface. So, make the name more general. 2009-02-01 01:26:36 +01:00			`[[!template id=plugin name=404 author="[[Simon_McVittie\|smcv]]"]]`
Split apache404 into an independent plugin Also make it ignore the 'do' parameter at Joey's suggestion, to have one less thing to remember when configuring. 2009-01-31 23:32:10 +01:00			`[[!tag type/useful]]`
