Create 404 Page

[ALBCODERS]

I am not a proffessional Coder but I just fixed a 404 page for my Forum.
If you want to create one follow me;

Crate a new template wich will called 404_error on your style:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------


Change the text (( PUT YOUR CODE OR IMAGE HERE )) whith your Code that you want.

So Now you need a 404.php lets create one;



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Now open .htaccess file and add this ;


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

nice also used this to do a 500 error page ;)

[apokphp]

Can't get this to work (I'm using 4.0.5). This is the error message I get:

Warning: require_once(./global.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/apokodn/public_html/404.php on line 32

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/apokodn/public_html/404.php on line 32

This is apparently the code in question:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

I can change my .htaccess and use your link (to your 404.php) and it works fine. But with my own link to my own 404.php file, I get errors.

This is my .htaccess file:


<Files 403.shtml>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Files>

I dont have 4.0.5 my last version is 4.0.3

[apokphp]

This is the error I get now:


Warning: require_once(./global.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/apokodn/public_html/404.php on line 11

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/apokodn/public_html/404.php on line 11

[apokphp]

I suspect the issue is w/ the global. I recall reading in another thread that 4.0.5 does something differently in its global calls.

there's easier ways to do this :p
