404 Error Page isn't working

**gcstuff** · 03-13-2010 09:20 AM

I am trying to customize my 404.shtml page for www.geocachingstuff.com.

When I go to geocachingstuff.com/404.shtml it does what I want, redirect to the homepage. If I go to www.geocachingstuff.com/anything it goes to an x10 404 page. /anything isn't a directory obviously.

I am not sure what's wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Add this line to .htaccess file

ErrorDocument 404 404.shtml

Thanks for the help! I can't see if it works, because FTP is taking so long/not working....it has been slow/not working since yesterday.

Your error page http://geocachingstuff.com/404.shtml have some error. It is loading nothing. Fix it then try again.

Also check mine http://besst.x10hosting.com/404.shtml

If I type in a directory that I don't have, it shows "404.shtml" on the page. I can't change that page

When I directly open http://geocachingstuff.com/404.shtml

It shows blank page.. However mine is showing something.. So correct this first

It now will redirect within 5 seconds to my homepage. So now, if I go to a page that isn't there, it doesn't show that (404.shtml)

The problem is still in 404.shtml

Post the code of this file. I will try to fix it.

The 403 forbidden works with the same code.

Code:

<HTML>
REDIRECTING
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="5;URL=http://www.geocachingstuff.com/">
</HEAD>
</HTML>

.htaccess looks like this:

Code:

ErrorDocument 404 404.shtml
