Make a More Functional 404 Error Page

[myjaydee]

Found the answer to my latest question myself

Figured I'd pass bit on as it might help others.

If you use ErrorDocument 404 /not_here.html in the .htaccess the web does not show any pictures, etc as they are not in the same folder.

However if you use ErrorDocument 404 http://www.yourdomain.com/not_here.html it actually redirects to the public_html file.

Don't know if this will be helpful to others, but I think it satisfies my purposes.

If it is blank just add this exactly as it is below and on one line.

ErrorDocument 404 /custom_page.html

What if it is not blank ? as I have this in the .htaccess file

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mobilemassage.org/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mobilemassage.org$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mobilemassage.org/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mobilemassage.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]
