Error Tracker Pepper for Mint

Description

Error Tracker is a Pepper for Mint that enables you to see common HTTP errors (401, 403, 404, and 500) that your visitors receive while accessing your site.

Installation

Listed below are the instructions on how to start using the Pepper:

Download the files and unzip the file.
Create a custom error page for each of the following error types: 401, 403, 404, and 500.
Be sure to include a link to the Mint external JavaScript file in each error page:
```
<script type="text/javascript" src="/mint/?js"></script>
```
Upload the files to your root web directory (e.g. public_html).
If your server is running Apache, add the lines below to a file named “.htaccess” in your root web directory (e.g. public_html). If your web server is not running Apache you’ll need to contact your web host to find out what you need to do to have the server direct your visitors to your customized error pages.
```
# error handling
ErrorDocument 401 /401.php
ErrorDocument 403 /403.php
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
ErrorDocument 500 /500.php
```
Note: Be sure to replace .php with the extension of the file type you’re using.
Upload the directory “jeffmiller” and its contents to /mint/pepper/.
Login to your Mint installation and in the Preferences click “Install” under Pepper.
Click the Error Tracker Pepper “Install” button. Click “Okay.”
Click Error Tracker under Pepper in the preferences pane.
In each of the boxes, enter some words that are unique to each error page.
Click “Done.”
