How do you customize error pages?

How can I load header/footer views from the view folder and place it inside the error_*.php pages located in /application/errors?

I've tried include("../views/header.php"); and load view without luck

Try using an absolute path:

Code:

include APPPATH .'views/header.php';

i use the session library in header.php and therefore errors arise

is there a clean way to move custom error pages into the view folder?

You might be able to utilize output buffering functions to be able to write headers first. You can also create a MY_Exceptions.php library and overload the methods of CI_Exceptions.php to do your own error handling.
