my custom 404 page wont show

[shadowslash]

There's an option in the cPanel to let me modify the error messages shown to users.. I did it and tried to edit the 404 page which is usually what users will see in case of dead links, etc. I saved it and there appeared a 404.shtml page on the root of my public_html folder. I was thinking this is the one needed for it to work. I've tried to put an invalid url on my site and it still shows the x10hosting 404 page... Anybody have a solution for this?

Quick info on how to create custom error pages.

The cPanel method seems to have issues at times.

Hmm I tried that but when I tried going to an in-existent file, it DID remove the x10hosting 404 page but instead of showing MY 404 page, it gave me this:

I used

ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.html

But that didn't work.. I also tried

ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

but that as well didn't work.. The weird thing though is I tried it once you told me then it worked... After that it didn't agian.... Does the change in .htaccess occur instantly or do I have to wait it out? If I do, how long should I wait it out before my changes appear?

I you testing the in chrome only or other browsers as well? chrome always seems to handle errors in an odd way....

.htaccess file alterations take immediate effect on the server and you should only have to wait for the file to upload, either through FTP or in cPanel. If it still isn't working, what is the URL location of the .htaccess file and the 404 error file?
Also, I am getting an error when I access your site that it has moved, as it is seeing the capital letters and thinks the URL is different.

Edit: It's working fine here now too.

I think it's because it's under Lotus which is being moved right now so I can't access it either... x)
