Re: Creating a custom 404 page.

I have never set a custom 404 page for a vhost but http://www.404-error-page.com/404-creat … page.shtml seems like it could help.
And also the says says add it to the VirtualHost section not the directory one.

Re: Creating a custom 404 page.

The way I have done it in a very simple way is to create an .htaccess file in the root directory of the site in question with the following lines:

# serve custom error pages
ErrorDocument 400 /SMART/errors/400.html
ErrorDocument 401 /SMART/errors/401.html

where:
> SMART in the directory name (root directory) where your index.html or index.php or index.py  file resides.
> errors is the sub-directory where all the different error files exit.

And that's it. Make sure you do not allow the .htaccess file to be accessible by web users (make it non-browsable).

That's it.

Hope this helps.

R.
