If I add the file .htaccess in my web directory (www) and in it put 404 Error/404.html then have 404.html my file I want to be displayed for the incorrect file directory it should show my custom error message right? I tried it and to no avail it did not work :/
The correct syntax is:
ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/whatever.html
If you just want to display a message, you can do this:
ErrorDocument 404 "Some message here"
yea what that "thing" said.. its a THIGN omfg a THING its a THING with that THING on his head omfg ITS "IT" THE KILLER CLOWN!
Someones created a monster. Put him down quick.
Also in your Advanced Internet Options (If using IE) you need to disable the 'Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages'.
