Hi iwhizz,

You should be placing them in public_html And they will come up automatically.

If not then add this to .htaccess

ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml

You can modify or upload a .htaccess file through FTP software, FileZilla is a good and free FTP client.

Hi iwhizz,

First, log in to your cPanel. Then, click on File Manager. Before clicking GO, make sure the "Show Hidden Files (dotfiles)" option is checked. From there, go to your public_html folder and look for a file named .htaccess. If you cannot find it, create a new file and name it .htaccess, then add the following line of code into it:

ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml

Header( "Location: http://vgchat.info/forum" );
