404 Error Message

How do I create my own 404 Error message on @Home?

They use their own...
http://members.home.net/asdf/adsf.htm

Please help!
Thanks!

If they let you use .htaccess and allow you to override FileInfo, then you can override the default ErrorDocument directive. Since you might have no way of knowing whether or not they allow you to do so, you can just go ahead and upload an .htaccess and put the appropriate lines (check here -> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#errordocument) and see if it works or not. If it doesn't work, just give it up.

So I just create a text document with just this line (for example):

ErrorDocument 404 "Page does not exist.

...and save it as ".htaccess" and that's it???
Oh yea, one problem, when I try to rename the text document it says "You must type a file name"...

Just create it and save it as htaccess.txt, then rename it to .htaccess from your FTP agent locally or on the server.

Thanks...

Just makin sure I have this right:
1) create a .txt document with just the line ErrorDocument 404 "Page does not exist.
2) upload it
3) rename it to .htaccess

That's it?
Well I did that :-\ The file's there... but it doesn't work... oh well :( ...guess they don't have the "override FileInfo" option set :(

Is there any free webspace server you know of that supports what I'm tryin to do??
