Error Pages

Through settings in the Windows NT registry, it is possible to configure .htx files that are displayed in case of errors encountered while executing a search. Any of the files error types can cause an error page to be displayed:

Query error
An error in a query specification (CiRestriction). This is most likely a user error.

Error in HTML extension file
An error was found while formatting the .htx file. This is probably a configuration error.

Error in Internet Data Query file
An error was found in the query parameter file. This is probably a configuration error, although it might also occur due to unexpected data input from a form.

Some other error
An unspecified error occurred.

Error pages have access to some of the variables available to .htx files. In addition, there is a variable CiErrorMessage, which gives a message describing the error. See .Idq File Errors and .Htx File Errors for a list of the possible values of CiErrorMessage.
