ErrorDocument 404 /404.php not working?

[ifm1989]

I've searched on both google and on these forums and couldn't find an aswer.

 

Basically, the following line is in my .htaccess:

 

ErrorDocument 404 /404.php

 

You would think...ok, place 404.php in your base directory (where the .htaccess is) and it should load it; instead, I get the generic google chrome 404 error.

 

This is my entire .htaccess file incase that helps (if you see any other bugs or misswriten items, feel free to let me know  )

 

# Prevent indexing where not wanted (everywhere)

Your syntax looks fine. I'm not sure what you mean by....

 

nstead, I get the generic google chrome 404 error.

 

Error documents are always generated by the server in question. Maybe chrome displays its own googl'ised error page when it receives a 404?

If I were to go to http://www.phpfreaks.com/randomrandomaduiashfiasdfas.php, I get a custom 404 error page that php freaks set up.

 

If I go to a website that does not have a 404 page set up, google chrome will display a generic one. Same with firefox.

 

That's my problem. My wamp server isn't displaying the 404.php file when I access a page that does not exist. Since it's not doing this, chrome is just dishing out the standard 404 error. It looks something like this:
