Error page

[slipper]

OK so i made a custom error page for my website. The error page works fine... except in the sub-directories. What am i doing wrong?

Thanks

Well, how did you set it up? Generally it involves configuring a .htaccess file for Apache servers.

I used this tutorial after a guick google search... http://www.mightycoach.com/articles/htmltricks/custom404.html

I put a .htaccess file in the root directory of my online hosting. And the .htaccess file directs to the /error.html page.

Just to make sure, do you consider the root folder the same one where your index.html file for your home page is? That would be the correct place to put it. Have you put a .htaccess file in any of the sub directories that the error page is not working? It can override what you set. Also if you have a link we can look at it may help diagnose the problem.

Yes i consider the root directory the directory with index.html

So you are suggesting me to put a .htaccess file and error.html page in every subdirectory? I also have this problem if i make a fake sub-directory. example: google.com/fagag/afgsghh. The error page will not work.

No, that's not what I'm suggesting. I wanted to make sure you didn't have any other .htaccess files that could be interfering.

Can you copy and paste what you have in your .htaccess file, and again, if you could provide a link?
