[HELP] 404 Page

[Gajeel]

Hello DevBest!

I would like to ask if it is possible to make a 404 page even when my pages are on HTML or do I need it to be on PHP? And how would I redirect someone to that specified 404 page when the file/page they are trying to reach is missing/lost.

Regards,
Vineen

Make a htaccess and put this in it.

ErrorDocument 404 /error.html

then make a file called error.html in the main part of htdocs/wwwroot

What shall be the filename? Windows keeps asking me what shall be the file name.

Here is my .htaccess

# Do not remove this line, otherwise mod_rewrite rules will stop working
RewriteBase /
 
ErrorDocument 404 /error.html

And my 404 page (error.html) (temporary)

Cookie Monster ate my page! :O

Yet it still redirects to my webhost's 404 page (I use free webhosting).
