@Pascal, 
I like the idea to make it more modern, I just think the color you choose it not 
well consist with PHP's blue color and visual identity.

I just attached an updated patch that restores the blue color.

You can see the result here:

I also compiled php locally and ran the tests, there were 2 tests failing because of the new patch,
I updated these two tests in my patch.

Tell me if you need updates to this patch, thanks.

@laruence
Thanks, I will do that this afternoon. Is that ok if I just add back the blue background color of do
you want the page to remain strictly identical to what it is now? (currently the title and paragraph
are not aligned, the title also has no padding and sticks to the blue border /ex).

sorry, should be:
it will be better if you can improve the skeleton, but keep the "looks"

Reeze, not sure I understand what you mean. For sure, I am in no way saying that the integrated web
server should be used in production. 

You seem to be of the opinion that since it is not targetting production, it is ok that it is using
obsolete HTML/CSS and looks like a 404 page from the 90's, I disagree, there is no reason to
use complex sub-quality HTML/CSS, especially since it gives poor visual result.

My patch simplifies the code used (less lines of code) while making the error page a bit more decent
in terms of layout.

I am happy to make compromises on this patch and revert the color to use the same blue color as
before if you wish, using correct typography/alignment and simpler html/css code in the source code
would already be a win for both consumers (web developpers that see this page during their
developement) and the code base I think.
