You don't need a .htaccess file for that. See /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf.

#    2) local redirects
#ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
#  to redirect to local url /missing.html
#ErrorDocument 404 /cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl
#  n.b. can redirect to a script or a document using
server-side-includes.

Then you can just do a reload to "restart" Apache.
