96 Custom Web Publishing Guide
Here is a partial list of the Web Publishing Engine error code values:
If the Web Publishing Engine is in Production mode, the following default general text message in the
pe_server_error.html error page is displayed for Web Publishing Engine errors:
An unexpected error has occurred while using FileMaker Custom Web Publishing with XSLT.
The default pe_server_error.html file contains the preceding text message in six languages.
You, as the developer, can edit the text of the pe_server_error.html error page as necessary for your solution.
The pe_server_error.html file is located in the cwpe folder inside the publishing-engine folder on the host
where you installed the Web Publishing Engine.
For information on how to set the Web Publishing Engine into Development or Production mode, see the
FileMaker Server Advanced Web Publishing Installation Guide.
