RE: [cobalt-users] Custom 404 error page

["John Foster" <jfoster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have <virtualhost x> you can put custom ErrorDocument 404
specifications in there too. Just make sure the file spec you use is
accessible to that virtual host.

If ErrorDocument is working but you don't have access to the file you will
get a slightly different 404 error message (in the browser) stating
something like ...in addition an error occurred trying to access the error
document.

The default setting in the access.conf file for RaQ4s is to prevent
.htaccess
files from working - you need to turn them on by changing the line
"AllowOverride None" line to "AllowOverride All".

Alternatively, if you just want to use one error document for the whole
server, you can just edit the srm.conf file -  again, look for the
"ErrorDocument" entries.

The syntax for this is the same as in an htaccess file - ie "ErrorDocument
404 /path/to/fle"
