    htaccess help

    I guess this isn't a great place to put this but i need help with using htaccess files. i want to make a html page with a flash navigational bar for if you get lost.

    what i did was i made a file saying errorDocument /errors/notfound.html

    yeah all that stuff... i put the notfound.html in a folder called errors. so ityped my website then a random adress after and a 404 thing came up.

    also it found the htaccess file which annoyed me.

    look:

    Click here for an example
    my website is jamitback.com/julian which exists but the htaccess file is at my site not www.jamitback.com... will it still work?

    What exactly does your .htaccess file say?

    If your .htaccess file is sitting in your /julian directory, it should read:
    Code:
    ErrorDocument 404 /julian/errors/notfound.html

    Nope. .htaccess files are specific to the directory they are in. They can't affect a directory above.

    alright cool, thanks man. I owe you a thanks so here it is lol


    ... okay i just tested it out. HOORAY IT WORKS!!!

    unfortunately it doesn't work from www.bounceboy.com.au

    www.jamitback.com/julian is where www.bounceboy.com.au gets redirected to.

    i guess you can't really do anything about that though, so i'll have to wait until i get my OWNish website

    You're right, it's not going to work that way. Your bounceboy.com.au domain isn't even a redirect, it's just a frameset holding jamitback.com/julian inside of it. They aren't connected at all. I can get any domain and stick google.com in it. Does that mean I can control Google? No.

    You have a similar set up. You'll need to get a real host and have the domain pointing to your server with an A record.
