Where's my 404?

I had 404 error pages for my site at one time, but it's been so long I don't know where to find them. Also... they're not working for some reason - I get the standard:


Not Found

The requested URL /xtreme-scooters/inquiries.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


Not sure how to find them; 404, 403, 501, 666, etc... where are they?

The ErrorDocument handling is done via .htaccess.

Have a look in the root of your web space for a file called ".htaccess".

The error is either pointing to a missing .htaccess file, or the pages referenced as the error pages in .htaccess are missing.

Thank you, found them. :)

In the .htaccess I had the wrong folder name (must have switched them).

Where exactly does the .htaccess need to be?: where my main page sits (htdocs), one folder deeper, or in each folder?

could be in in each folder you need one.

Although to apply globally, it has to be in your root folder.
