RE: [cobalt-users] 404's

["David Lynch" <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Simple...

Open notepad. Make this the only line in the file:

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.domain.com/whatever.htm
The file HAS to be called .htaccess and be FTPd as ascii....
BUT, Windows doesn't let you name a file .anything... so call it
htaccess.txt and rename it to .htaccess after you upload it.

Make sure whatever.htm exists!  I just send them to
index.html... but you can create a customized 404 page)
 
(WS_FTP overrides Window's rule on needing a name before the .
so you can use ws_ftp to rename it before you upload.)

If you upload this to /web it works on the entire domain.

If you put it in a directory, it will limit it's magic power
to that directory only, and all it's subdirectories.
