RE: .htaccess problems step 1
Thanks. We will start with the Error Document
In the httpd.conf file:
Documentroot "/usr/local/www/data"
Alias /nz "usr/local/www/nz"
<Directory "/usr/local/www/nz">
Options Indexes Multiviews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
#All other settings are the default ones
I have no settings in srm.conf
Contents of my .httaccess (/usr/local/www/nz)
#Error document
ErrorDocument 404 /error.html
The webpage works fine but I don't get the custom error page

It is very difficult dealing with all these things simultaneously. Why
don't you do the following:
1. Try one problem at a time.
2. Report exactly the relevant part of httpd.conf, including the
DocumentRoot. Don't make random changes before you post; just copy and
paste into the email.
3. Report exactly what URL you are typing into the browser, and exactly what
you see as a result, in addition to the exact contents of the error and
access logs.
With that information, we should be able to help.

Okay. That's a better start. But I still have a question: Do you get the
MSIE "friendly" error page, or do you get the Apache canned error response.
If the former, make sure that error.html is "big enough" (pad it with a
bunch of space if necessary). If the latter, where in httpd.conf have you
placed the ErrorDocument directive? What does the error log say?
If this is a publically-accessible site, you could give the URL so that we
could test it.
