If you have cpanel or such, there is likely an option somewhere in that.
But not sure on the command/system level.

You must have a .htaccess file in your root directory. (A file named .htaccess)
The file must contain these lines:


ErrorDocument 404 error.php?e=404
ErrorDocument 500 error.php?e=500
...

You may add/remove/modify them of course.

The syntax is pretty much selfexplainable:

ErrorDocument error_code custom_page
