Error page extentions
On my site, Cpanel gives me the option to custimize my own error pages for my site.... I figured out that all it was doing was adding a file with the number of the error (ie: 404) with a .SHTML extention, I tried switching the extention to .PHP and write one with PHP but it never got called....
Do error page extentions HAVE to be .SHTML? And can you custimize all error pages in this wa -- Cpanel only offered me a few of them as options.... Thanx

No. Error pages do not have to be .shtml files. Yes, I'm sure you can customize any or all error pages on your site, but for security reasons, the administrator may not allow access to various pages. What extensions will work depend on the server's setup . Instead of .php, try .htm or .html and see what happens.

Answer one question. Request a 404 error on your site and post to me the exact error message, look for words similer to, additionally a 404 error was encountered while trying to call 404

Have you tried configuring an htaccess file to point to a different file type?

Sounds like thats what he needs to do, because what its doing is throwing a 404 error, then another 404 error (making it default to standard 404) because it cant find the 404 file!

You'll have to set 'ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/page.php' in your apache config file. Wether or not you can touch that is up to your host... Try setting it in an .htaccess file, chances are that's what the host has called it if they allow changes.
Right now it probably points to 'ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/page.shtml', and so that's that page it looks for...

Since you are using Cpanel, you might be on a linux host, which means that you mostlikely have custom error documents. Look in your root folder for the error documents directive (for cpanel) and you might beable to edit it there if you have access to it!
