How do I use a custom 404 page for my website?

A 404-page is a page that shows up when the webserver cannot find a file. Here is how you can configure this message yourself.

Create a file named ".htaccess" at the root of your website. Add the following command in the file:

ErrorDocument 404 /error.html

It isn't necessary to name the 404-file error.html, but it should be a static page, not a dynamic one (PHP f.ex).

This setting will also apply to subdirectories of the directory where the .htaccess file is placed.
