Changing 404 page? (And other error pages)

[HermXIV]

How do you change your 404 and other error pages? I tried editing the 404.shtml, no dice. Any help?

 

[diabolo]

in cPanel there is an option to change error pages

 

[HermXIV]

Yes, I tried that. No luck. You fill the field with html code right? Because I did that and got nothing.

Hmm the cPanel one only works if you are not using a CMS that already provides a 404 Page.

If you are not using a CMS, you could also try this, the manual way:

1) Create an html file (or shtml, php, etc..) for your 404 Page elsewhere.
2) Upload it to your root public_html directory.
3) Add the following line to your root .htaccess file.

ErrorDocument 404 /error.php

Replace /error.php with whatever you named it and your directory that you uploaded it to.

Hi,

It appears as if the issue has been resolved, I'm going to close the thread now.

HermXIV, feel free to reopen the thread or create a new one if you need more help.
