404

[dunefield]

Hi this might sound like a stupid question to some but how do you create a 404 page? I'd like to redirect all my 404 traffic is there a way of doing this?

[SMG]

ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
ErrorDocument 401 /404.html
ErrorDocument 403 /404.html

etc, in your .htaccess in main web folder

yep, give it a try

Just FYI... the correct term for this is "404 Trap"

this site is a good guide to creating your htaccess file.

remove the spaces in the url

if you use a control panel like plesk or something you can specify that stuff in there

Just wanted to say that you don't have to have the ErrorDocument point to a local page. Alot of sponsors will have hosted 404 traps and you can point to those directly, and save some of your own bandwidth

i.e.

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.your-sponsor.com/their/hosted/trap/URL/here
