Here is the code for a custom 404 page, it will handle errors for you...

Code:

&#60;?

# Set these variables to configure the script&#58;

# Set &#036;domain to your domain name &#40;no www&#41; 
&#036;domain = &#34;&#34;; 

# Set &#036;docroot to the URL of the directory which contains your
# .htaccess file. Don&#39;t include trailing slash.
&#036;docroot = &#34;http&#58;//www.#.com&#34;;

# Font type
&#036;fontface = &#34;Verdana&#34;;

# This script is capable of mailing the details of each 404 error
# to the webmaster. Use the &#036;reportlevel variable to control when
# you receive these reports.
#
# 0 = don&#39;t use the email capabilities
# 1 = send email only if the error&#39;s referer contains your domain name
#**** &#40;i.e. the 404 was generated by a broken link on your site&#41;
# 2 = send email any time a 404 error is generated &#40;useful for tracking
#**** broken links at other sites which link to you&#41;

&#036;reportlevel = 2;

# Set &#036;emailaddress to the email address of whoever should be
# notified of 404 errors. Don&#39;t escape the @ symbol.
# You can leave this unassigned if you&#39;re not using email features.

Well, your declarations are all correct.

Personally i would also use:

# Apache Error Handling
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) /errors.php?act=FourZeroFour
ErrorDocument 404 /errors.php?act=FourZeroFour

and that goes into .HTACCESS
