i think just on the cpanel you can find the 404 pages setup.
yes.on cpanel you can modify it with your own mind..

hi man,

yes yes, your are right but man, i do that and thats't the same as this tutorial, all it does is create a txt file with what ever you want to say. i WANT to design the page in dreamweaver + fireworks+photoshop CS and graphc it. and then use that as 404 error. not a txt doc.

i just need so that everytime teh address is wrong, it automaticly goes to mine coustome 404 error page.

help,
thaks,

To use a custom .html (or any other type of file) as an error 404 you must use the code stated at the start of this thread:



Where myerrorpage.html is the name of the page you want to display as an error 404.

You do not need to put /public_html/ or anything like that, just the name of the file, or if it is in a folder called errors, then put /errors/404.html

this will do .php error pages aswell right? and what about when a page is called from a sub directory that results in an error, will the script try to call /subdir/404.php instead of /404.php?

and whats the php code to get a users ip, and the page they came from, or were going to?

That will work for .htm .html .php .asp .mp3 .jpg ... Any file can be called as an error page (as far as I am aware).

It won't look for /subdir/404.php if you put the .htaccess in the /public_html/ folder directly. This will apply your error page to all sub folders, but won't include the sub folder name in the search for the file.

The user's IP can be taken with the following line of code:


You can resolve that IP address with the following code (in place of what is above):



To get the page that the user came from you can use the code:



I don't think it is possible to find out what page a user was going to, as it will be changed to your 404.php anyway.

I hope this helps you.

Using notepad can make .htaccess... just save it as all files and as .htaccess

What is 404 error and I need help fixing it?
Custom 404 Error Pages

I am trying to download the new yahoo instant messenger. I can get almost the whole thing to download when all the sudden I get "404 not found". What the heck is this?

I never got the error when I downloaded on Windows Millennium. Now I have windows XP and having problems. I am not any computer guru so if someone could talk me through this with very clear and easy instructions it would be greatly appreciated.
