Cant edit error pages?

[joshua filby]

Hello, I have tried and tried to edit the 404 page error to say what I want it to say, witch is this.. http://magicpkz.com/404.shtml but it doesn't update, it goes to the defualt one that x10 has.

Make a ".htaccess" file without the quotes in your public_html folder and include the following..

ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml

Okay, so this method will work for all of the error pages, all I have to do is edit the number.

Eg.
ErrorDocument 403 /403.shtml

Edit rep+ =]

Yes, just for your information the page doesn't have to be called "403.shtml".

You can call it "error403.shtml" so then you will just have to write "ErrorDocument 403 /error403.shtml".

Also when I tried to make my error pages they didn't work. So in the .htaccess file I had to write
"ErrorDocument 403 http://mywebsite.com/error403.shtml"

Note that if you give a full URL, it will result in an external redirect. The URL of the error page will be visible in the visitor's browser and (more importantly) the HTTP status will be the status returned for the error page's URL, rather than the original URL. This means the status will be 200, unless you change it. The documentation for ErrorDocument explains why this is a problem for customizing the 401 error document.
