  Custom error pages in Rails 3

  Updated: It’s public, not app/views.

  Just so that posterity may have more luck Googling for this than I did: to create a custom error (5xx) page in Rails 3, create a static HTML file with the error code in your base public directory, e.g.:

  public/500.html
  

  If you’re internationalized (and you are, right?), you can add an I18n extension:

  public/500.en.html
  

  These paths are looked up by the ActionDispatch::ShowExceptions middleware when rendering an error page for a non-local request.

  This may or may not already be obvious to everyone but me.
