subdomain

[benevolent001]

hi i made 404 400 500 and other pages for my main domain and also placed htaccess file for the required permissions...i wanted to if i need separate files for the other subdomains ...preseltly when i try to open unknown file in main domain it gives 404 page which i made but when i try this in subdomains it gives default..page cannot be found...

does it need separate htaccess files too

Yes, I think you'll need an .htaccess file in each subdomain's subdirectory, specifiying its unique ErrorDocument.

You can do this "centrally" in httpd.conf if you have access to the server configuration.

I have a somewhat similar problem except my files were in a directory I deleted and the bad url now opens a 404 error "file not found" and goes to my missing page which I have set up with links to my site. However, Google still thinks those pages are online.

How do I set up my .htaccess file so it does not refer those pages to the file not found page so google will drop them from it's index? I can't submit those pages to google's dead url link because that link gets redirected to my 404/missing page and it thinks the page is still there.
