XF 1.4 Custom 404 page

[Mr Lucky]

I have set .htaccess to show my own error 404:

ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 http://mysite.com/404.html
ErrorDocument 500 default

However it still just shows the default.

Can anyone please help with how to do this?

Thanks

You could probably use this: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/goodfornothing-four-oh-four.767/
It looks like it would be very quick to edit the default 404 page template from that add-on with your own .html code.

Yep, all you got to do is copy everything from your 404.html and paste it in the template 'gfn404_error' and you are good to go

Thanks for that, but I still wonder why it doesn't work via the .htaccess

but I still wonder why it doesn't work via the .htaccess

That would be because these lines

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

tells Apache to parse the request to index.php if there's a chance of a 404 response.
