I am trying to create a custom 404 error page. The instructions that I found say to create a .htaccess empty text document when I do that Windows tells me to put a file name on it. Can someone tell what I need to do or point me to a tutorial for making custom 404 error pages?
It seems like you’re just trying to make the page itself (according to the commentary on the question). To create the page just make a file of any name .html or whatever format you wish to use (.php for php for example) and write it up using your language of choice. Once you create the 404 page you need to specify it’s location, assuming you’re uploading this to a site of yours. This should be editable in a control panel like CPanel for example. If not, you’ll need to edit your apache config to specify it’s location or make and upload an .htaccess file to specify it’s location.
