    Hi,

    Having looked on the internet for help here, I thought I have this mastered...But I haven't.

    I am looking to redirect all the 404 errors to another page which I created called redirect.htm.

    I have added the following line to the .htaccess file:
    ErrorDocument 404 /redirect.htm
    This should popup two sites...

    The domain is megatorg.com

    Any ideas would be much appreciated

    Thanks...

    The reason it did not work is the forward slash (/), which you should have omitted if you only mention the path, instead of the full URL. Like this:
    ErrorDocument 404 redirect.htm
    Code (markup):
    Anyhow, glad you sorted it out, because .htaccess files can be quite a pain.
