.htaccess looks like this:

Code:

ErrorDocument 404 404.shtml

Paste this code in 404.shtml and see if it work

Code:

The Page You are Looking for <!--#echo var="REQUEST_URI" -->does not exsist..
Please Check it again...<br />

<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR" --><br />
<!--#echo var="HTTP_HOST" --><br />
<!--#echo var="HTTP_USER_AGENT" -->

I used the code you suggested. I also used the .htaccess code aswell:

ErrorDocument 404 404.shtml

1. Use

Code:

ErrorDocument 404  /404.shtml

2. Unless you are going to use SSI commands (like Zubair's code does), don't use .shtml as an extension. Use .html

I was using .shtml since that was the default. Under advanced tools, Error Pages on Cpanel

I will use html and see if that works

If you don't change the .htaccess entry so there is a backslash in front of the filename, it won't work.
The .shtml change is because a) shtml pages are a potential security risk and b) they have to be parsed by the server every time they are sent, a waste of server resources if you are not going to use SSI.

Thanks! I believe it works now!
