htaccess prob

[Alicia]

Hi guys,

I am having some prob with the .htaccess file, hope you guys may able to give me a little idea about this..

I have added this line in my htaccess file but why it still doesn't work ? It still shows the default page rather than the page i written in the code...

ErrorDocument 404 "http://62.129.238.22/~myweb/affiliate/notfound.htm"

i tried these two as well but still not working..
ErrorDocument 404 "./affiliate/notfound.htm"

ErrorDocument 404 /affiliate/notfound.htm


Did i miss something ? Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi!

I am only sure about the solution if your server is Apache. If so, just take your first example and leave out the quotes around the full path to your document.

Too lazy to learn that myself - if your server is not Apache - here is a nice link:

http://www.404lounge.net/index.php

It is a German site but available in English. After the page has loaded, click "tutorials / how to's" in the Nav-menu on the right, then "your custom error page" and finally on the name of your server in the list that will appear on the bottom. Hope your's is available in the list...

Cheers - Pit
