But isn't "index.php" your default page...? So the .htaccess directive is serving up exactly what you asked for...?

If you want to serve up a custom 404 page, make a separate page, named something like "404error.php", and put that in the ErrorDocument directive.

Is AllowOverride [httpd.apache.org] FileInfo set on your server? This is stated as a requirement for ErrorDocument [httpd.apache.org].

uhm.. how can I set in my htaccess?

You can't -- It's a server configuration setting.

Please click on the links above and read the "specifications" at the top of each directive's description - It tells you where the directive can be used, and notes the dependencies.

Hi Jim, yes thks

but, I have in my httpd.conf

AllowOverride All

This not covered my need?

AllowOverride All should be sufficient.

Take a look at your server error logs after requesting a non-existent page; The only other thing I can think of is that perhaps your errordocument location is incorrect -- maybe Apache can't find your custom error page. If so, this would show in the error log.

Also, remember to always flush your browser cache after making any change to your configuration files.

e404 is the default for many Apache servers, so you may not even have to put that in.
