error 500 when i create on htaccess one error 404

Question

How can i make it so that my htacces rules return a 404 when invalid urls are entered into the adress bar.

I use the virtualbox for one project and i try create one file .htaccess and i put one error 404 to protect my pages, but when i create my error 404 and sending to the server and refresh my page i have one error 500 on my server.

My code is this:

#my error 404 
ErrorDocument 404/file/404.php

Anyone can help me? I don't know why this happens and I have searched on google.

Answer 1

您必须用引号将路径包裹起来，以确定它是否为字符串

ErrorDocument "404/file/404.php"

Answer 2

A Little White Space causes the issue

Change this

ErrorDocument 404/file/404.php

to

ErrorDocument 404 /file/404.php
