can't find files on server

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
DirectoryIndex country.php

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.somedomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.somedomain.com/$1 [R,L]

RewriteRule ^free-live-tv$ index.php?app=tv [L]
RewriteRule ^free-live-tv/categories/(.*)$ index.php?app=tv&action=cats&id=$1 [L]



when I try to go to www.somedomain.com/arcade.php the server says its not found? How can I resolve this?

 

Are you sure it is 404 error not others like 403, 500 etc. If mod_rewrite is on and working fine on the server you should redirect to index.php on 404 error.

http 500 error. whats that mean?

 

Status code 500 means Internal server error. Generally it gives this error due to invalid line in .htaccess. You can check the error logs of your domain to find the root cause of this error.
