    I know this has been discussed before..but I just can't seem to get it to work correctly.

    Simply trying to re-direct all 404 pages to my index.php.

    I am using cpanel with hostgator: Linux CentOS

    I have the followng line of code in my .htaccess file (last line):

    ErrorDocument 404 index.php

    I also tried:

    ErrorDocument 404 http://www.mywebsite.com

    and

    ErrorDocument 404 http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php


    Well, nothing happens when you hit a 404 page...still get all those ads from hostgator and no re-direct.

    Any help would be highly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    You could try this instead at the end of your .htaccess:

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.html
    Code (markup):

    This is what I do with my sites on hostgator for 404 pages.

    Put this line in my .htaccess file:
    Errordocument 404 /404.html
    Code (markup):
    Then created a file called 404.html with this code:

    <html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "http://www.mywebsite.com"
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
    Code (markup):
    Best of luck :)
