Below is what I get when I run configtest. I dont remeber the page I saw
that said it wasnt going to work, I was looking every where for info on the
subject. But they did come outright and say Apache Docs were wrong.

What warning do you get? What pages "out there" are making those claims?
The docs at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#errordocument
are perfectly accurate. Full or local URLs can be used, except for 401.
Local URLs are recommended because full URLs will hide the true status
code from the client (in order to send the redirect status code).
