help me with the .htaccess

i try to use .htacess script to make some
custom error pages.
But it doesn't work !! Can anyone help me ??

I wrote this on my .htaccess file :
ErrorDocument 404 http://mydomain/404.html
ErrorDocument 500 http://mydomain/500.html
etc

I put .htaccess file on public_html directory
Do I miss something ???
Thx before !!!

NB : The server use Apache web server

Did you set the AllowOverride directive in your httpd.conf file?? If you haven't try setting it according to the Apache manual (All should do it).

Thx for the information !!
I set the Allow Override in the httpd.conf
from None to All
And it works !!!

My next question is :
I read in the httpd.conf guide and it said that there're some choices to fill the Allow Override like Option, File Info, etc

If I wanna make some custom error pages and some password protection with the .htpasswd, what choice is the best ???

Or maybe someone can explain to me what each option mean ??

Thank's before !!

Go to -> http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#errordocument and look at the "Override:" line. It stated "FileInfo" so that's the one you needed.

Then go to -> http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#allowoverride and check out the AllowOverride directives.

Thx alot for your information.
It gives me lots of new knowledge !!!


See ya !!!!
