Custom 404 error pages

How do I do custom 404 error pages, with my old host it was easy as you could do it through the control panel but on my new one you can't, is there some sort of file I need to change on the server?

If your host is running Apache just add the following to your .htaccess file:

Code:

ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/your/error/file/or/script

If you dont't already have a .htaccess file make one.

Who are you with?

Try creating a file called 404.shtml and uploading it to your public_html or www directory

I'm with register1.net and I've got that .htaccess file so will give both suggestions a try, cheers
