Re: [cobalt-users] how customize 404 page on raq4?

["PageKeeper Service" <host@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you tried this...?

Open a note pad and copy the line below on the first line.
Change the page-name to whatever.

ErrorDocument 404 /page-name.html

(You can use your main index.html page as the 404 target page..)

close the note pad and call it htaccess.txt for the time being.

Open your ftp program and rename the file to .htaccess then
upload it as text (ascii) to the web directory.
