Problem with redirecting 404 traffic .htaccess - GoFuckYourself.com

Paparazzi · 05-06-2008, 03:51 PM

when someone goes to the wrong .htm or .html page it works just fine but not if someone goes to wrong .jpg for example. When someone goes to a wrong .jpg file that doesn't exist it goes to a cam page I'm not familiar too

This is how my .htaccess looks like:

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.blahblah.com/404.htm
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.blahblah.com/404.htm
ErrorDocument 401 http://www.blahblah.com/404.htm
ErrorDocument 501 http://www.blahblah.com/404.htm

What's wrong?

Try putting the pages on your same domain, then redirecting with those pages.

eg. ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

then create a 404.html page that has a Meta redirect (if you are redirecting to somewhere off your site).

Thanks for the advice aice, but I asked my host and they fixed it within minutes

thaifan99, yeah .jpg got redirected to a streamate page. Not sure how it worked, but my host (techie media) fixed it so all is good
