Custom Error Page?

imsleepy · June 7th, 2004, 12:16 AM

This is a first. I created a custom error page and saved it as 404.shtml as directed. It doesn't work. I have never had this problem in the past. They always have worked though I usually save them as missing.html and then edit the .htaccess file.

I did even try editing the .htaccess file in hopes that would work. It didn't. I put in...

ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml

...which is what I have always used in the past (only used missing.html instead).

Any suggestions how to get this to work? I must be doing something wrong.

Thanks.

Go into cPanel, and use the "Error Pages" option to create your custom error pages with the forms available. Easy as cheese! (Given that cheese is easy, of course.)

I tried doing it and it's not working for me? Do I not have the features for it? I use Power.
