I am having difficulties applying my custom 404 page in Drupal.

So first I wrote my own custom 404.html (outside Drupal, so it isn’t part of Drupal nor of its database!) and uploaded it to my FTP server. When I browse to /admin/config/system/site-information and insert the path to this newly uploaded 404.html file it tells me that the file doesn’t exist or that I don’t have the permission to view it.

I think the problem is that my custom page isn’t really part of Drupal because I uploaded and designed it myself, outside Drupal. But does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

    Drupal expects node paths when you’re setting error pages like that. If you don’t want to use Drupal nodes, you’ll need to specify your 404 page in an Apache config (.htaccess probably) using the ErrorDocument directive.
