Configuring error pages
When backend real servers are unavailable or another status code for other module (ex: WAF/DoS/Auth), FortiADC can respond to clients attempting HTTP/HTTPS connections with a customized HTML error page. Once you create an HTML error page, you can select it in virtual server configurations.
The current error page file package only requests index.html to replace 503 error message when there’s no servers in pool, we also extend the support to these files listed below:

You do not have to create an HTML error page if you want to simply send a basic text error message when backend servers are unavailable. Instead, you can enter an error message in a text box from within the virtual server configuration. See Error Message.
Before you begin:
- You must have Read-Write permission for Server Load Balance settings.
- Copy the error message file to a location you can reach from your browser; the error page file must be named
index.htmland contained in a tar, tar.gz, or zip file. The maximum file size is 1 MB.
To upload an error message file:
- Go to Server Load Balance > Application Resources.
- Click the Error Page tab.
- Click Create New to display the configuration editor.
- Enter the name of the error page. You will use this name to select the error page in virtual server configurations. No spaces.
- Click Choose File and browse and select the error message tar, tar.gz, or zip file. The maximum file size is 1MB.
- Enter the Virtual Path of the error page. This virtual path will conflict with the custom authentication form base page's virtual path and also with SAML's server URL configuration and Captcha path.
- Save the configuration.
