Settin A Custom 404 page in Xampp
Hi All,
I'm running Xampp 1.7.3 on Windows XP SP3.
I need to set the customer 404 error page so that it directs to
web address: /mycms/newversion/index.ph
file address: c:/xampp/htdocs//mycms/new
I changed /xampp/apache/conf/extra/h
ErrorDocument 404 c:/xampp/htdocs//mycms/new
That didn't work.
I then tried setting
Alias /error/ "C:/xampp/htdocs/mycms/new
(Note that setting the Alias "/error/" is not desirable because it screws up all of the other error page settings. I just want control over the 404 error.)
and
ErrorDocument 404 /error/index.php
That redirected the error to /index.php, so I changed it to read
ErrorDocument 404 /error/mycms/newversion/in
After each change, I stopped and restarted Apache.
That worked for about an hour before I wen to bed, but no longer worked this morning. I get a browser "Page Not Found" error in all major browsers.
How do I set the 404 error page in Xampp?

can you try using a relative path, like your last example, but to an html page?

...Although...
IE seems to cache its error response.
The address I was using before to test (which kept failing) was
/mycms/newversion/test
Because /test doesn't exists, I should get my error page.
In IE, I don't. I continue to get the browser generated Page Not Found Error.
But if I enter a new non-existent address, I get my custom error page.
It's all somewhat confusing.
