First of all, you're gonna want to add this code to the last line on your .htaccess file.

Code:
ErrorDocument 404 /filenotfound.php

Now, you want to create a new page, called 'filenotfound.php' and add this code to it.
Code:
<?php     define('IN_MYBB', 1);
    require_once("global.php");

    add_breadcrumb("404 Error", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

    eval("\$page = \"".$templates->get("404")."\";");

    output_page($page);
?>

Now, upload the filenotfound.php file to your main website's directory.

Then, create a new template on your main theme with the name 404 and add this to it:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Your title</title>
{$headerinclude}
</head>
<body>
{$header}
Your 404 Page Content
{$footer}
</body>
</html>

Edit where it says Your 404 Page Content to whatever suits your needs.

Not my content don't come to me if shit doesn't work but it should Smile

Cpanel just edits the .htaccess file I'm pretty sure.

You can use any html/php file for the error page(s)... you can set all the error types that way, for example:

Quote:ErrorDocument 400 /400.html
ErrorDocument 401 /401.html
ErrorDocument 403 /403.html
ErrorDocument 404/404.html
ErrorDocument 500 /500.html


List oferror codes:

Client Error:
400 - Bad Request
401 - Unauthorized
402 - Payment Required
403 - Forbidden
404 - Not Found
405 - Method Not Allowed
406 - Not Acceptable
407 - Proxy Authentication Required
408 - Request Timeout
409 - Conflict
410 - Gone
411 - Length Required
412 - Precondition Failed
413 - Request Entity Too Large
414 - Request-URI Too Long
415 - Unsupported Media Type
416 - Requested Range Not Satisfiable
417 - Expectation Failed

Server Error:
500 - Internal Server Error
501 - Not Implemented
502 - Bad Gateway
503 - Service Unavailable
504 - Gateway Timeout
505 - HTTP Version Not Supported


You can also put html directly in the .htaccess fileusing a quotation mark before the html (you don't need one at the end, and you can use quotes in the html itself....

For example:

Quote:ErrorDocument 404 "<span style="font-size:1.2em;"><b>404:</b>Shit, we couldn't find that page!</span><br><br>Click <a href="https://your.site/">here</a> to go to the main page or <a href="mailto:[email protected]">email us</a> for help.
ErrorDocument 403 "<center>You're forbidden from accessing this content.<br><span style="font-size:10px"><a href="http://link.to/site">(Return to main page.)</a></center>

Better just to use a separate file though.

Life is like a box of chocolates, it doesn't last as long for fat people.
