.htaccess probs

Heya,

I want to change all of www.dynamo.ie 's error pages and page not found etc. I believe they are located in .htaccess or something? Well anyway, i found .htaccess after flippin' ages and opened it using BBedits's FTP text editor. The only thing written in it was this:

ErrorDocument 404 /404.html


Literally, just that on the page. There are no obvious '404.html' or anything on my server. How the hell do i change the files? Usually servers have all the error pages in a nice folder, but no, this server has to be stupid and annoying. I was emailing the webmaster for the servers about this, he just said find .htaccess and start editing. He didn't bother replying after i said i didn't understand what he meant. Any help is great, thanks!

I just use my cPanel for editing mine, so I don't really know how to do it by hand. Do you not have a cPanel or something similar?

No i have nothing....it's a bad server. Ill look at the link soon. thanks

Yeah that is a bad server. Good luck with the .htaccess file. They scare me!

Just make a file with nothing but this:
ErrorDocument 404 /error.htm

Then name it .htaccess and up it to your "root" directory where your html files are.

Then just make a error.htm page and up it to the same root html directory.

kewl...thanks bobby-o!

n/p ;)
