I am using the following code in my .htaccess:

    ErrorDocument 404 error_page.php?msg=404

When I trigger a 404 error, I get a page that says this:

    error_page.php?msg=404

Is there something that I am doing wrong?

Thanks

    Not sure if you can pass query strings to the document designated by ErrorDocument, Something you can try is using it in conjunction with mod_rewrite:

    ErrorDocument 404 /error-doc-404
ErrorDocument 405 /error-doc-405
ErrorDocument 500 /error-doc-500

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^error-doc-([0-9]{3})$ /error_page.php?msg=$1 [L]

    Since this is in a subdirectory off of the document root, it changes everything.

    Say the subdirectory is /something/

    ErrorDocument 404 /something/error-doc-404
ErrorDocument 405 /something/error-doc-405
ErrorDocument 500 /something/error-doc-500

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^error-doc-([0-9]{3})$ /something/error_page.php?msg=$1 [L]

    Assuming that your error_page.php file is actually in the /something/ subdirectory.
