Custom 404 Messages

[Crypticflare]

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:

Code Select Expand

ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/whatever.html

If you just want to display a message, you can do this:

Code Select Expand

ErrorDocument 404 "Some message here"

Also in your Advanced Internet Options (If using IE) you need to disable the 'Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages'.
