.htaccess is not working

  • 772

I have a .htaccess file in /var/www, the contents of which is:

ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

In apache2.conf AccessFileName is .htaccess, and AllowOverride does not exist. For some reason, visiting example.com/anything does not show 404.html.

apache-2.2 .htaccess http-status-code-404

  1. You will need to configure a suitable AllowOverride setting in your configuration file to get ErrorDocument to work. The override you require is fileinfo e.g.

    <Directory /var/www/>
    .
    .
    .
    AllowOverride fileinfo 
 </Directory>
