    i dunno if this is php or the html forum it should be in, im unsure here, but here i go.


    i was told by my webhost that i have to put a 404.php/html/whatever file in my webroot (made one already) and then add a string of code to my .htaccess file to make the standard 404page become the one i made.

    now i wonder what this string of code i should put in my .htaccess file should be, i tryed searching google without luck :<

    anyone that can help me ?

    If you have a cpanel on your host, you can do that without coding.

    Depends on the version of CPanel, the one I'm looking at has a link "Custom Error Pages" under the subheading "Site Management". However searching for this in Google should find a tutorial that might help you if you still can't find it.

    Doing this with .htaccess is a better option though in my opinion (if you know how to do it). e_hippie has shown how simple the code is anyway.
