How can I easily customize Apache web server error pages.

I found some localization strings which look like nightmare. I just want to set a nice "server busy" page in one locale whenever mod_proxy cannot connect to sub-server.

What is the easiest way? Copy file where? It's filename is what? Do I need to tweak a config setting?

I am looking for a copy-paste solution instead of documentation.... Now I am getting 

"Service Temporarily Unavailable"

page.

You can customize error page with the ErrorDocument directive, the code you want to customize are probably 504 and 502, see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html for a full list of possible code.

Any example code? I am looking for a copy-paste solution instead of documentation.... Now I am getting "Service Temporarily Unavailable" page. Not sure what error code.. not found? Anyways, I can tweak the code later. – Martin Aug 13 '10 at 13:21
"Service Temporarily Unavailable" is code 503. There is already 4 example in the link of the documentation, just change the code by 503 and the link to the html page you want to diplay – radius Aug 13 '10 at 13:26
You mean ErrorDocument 503 foo.example.com/myerrorpage Ok, thanx. I will try that. – Martin Aug 13 '10 at 13:34
