I have an Apache web server running on Amazon EC2 and I am trying to make a custom 404 page which I did, but I want it to popup when a mistyped or wrong URL is requested. This is my .htaccess code
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
I saved my .htaccess file in my /var/www/html directory. Am I doing something wrong? Because when I typed in a wrong url, the default Apache 404 Error keeps popping up and I don’t want that to drive visitors away. Is this possible? Thanks!!!
confirm that AllowOverride directive is set to All in your httpd.conf
secondly .htaccess should be kept inside the root directory of your code.
