):P I have written a guide on how to customize the 404 page in Apache in my blog. I think it might be helpful too for you guys so I am going to paste the guide here.
1. You have to make sure that you have turned the rewrite module on in apache
You can follow the steps on this post (http://compustorm.no-ip.org/2009/07/apache-and-wordpress-permalink-on-ubunutu/) to enable it
2. Create .htaccess in /var/www or edit it if you already have one
3. Add the following line in the post
ErrorDocument 404 /the-filename-of-your-customized-404-page
In my case, it is
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
That’s done!
Please continue if you want to use the 404 page provided by your wordpress theme (http://compustorm.no-ip.org/2009/07/customize-404-page-in-apache/)
Hope this can help you.
