Re: [cobalt-users] Error 404 Page

["Roger Dunk" <roger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just make sure your .htaccess file only contains one line, as follows:
ErrorDocument 404 /error404.html

If you are uploading the .htaccess file via FTP, upload in ASCII mode.
Save the file in your /home/sites/www.mysite.com/web directory.

Now create the file error404.html (containing the page you want displayed
when
someone visits a non-existant page) and place it in the same directory. Hey
presto, customised 404s.

Cheers...
Roger
