hi

1.
i have a .htaccess file in my root directory on unix hosting

following is the code in .htaccess file

ErrorDocument 404 /filenotfound.html

the file filenotfound.html is also in the root directory as the htaccess file

when i intentionally type a wrong url either if a misspell a file ex= http://domainname.com/filenam.html or a folder ex = http://domainname.com/100
to test if this is working filenotfound.html is not being called

any reason why this is happening



also the same thing with wamp on my local computer, i have a htaccess and also the filenotfound
in d:/wamp/www however when i misspell the ulr of my localhost, i have noticed in the status bar that the page is being redirected to
http://linkhelp.clients.google.com and i get a 404 from this website, how can i change this redirection



2.
how do i access the php.ini and httpd.conf file from my cpanel, do i need to ask my hosting provider to make any changes or can i make these changes myself

3.
after downloading putty and if i have wamp in d:/wamp/www how do i access mysql from the command prompt
using putty on my local machine

please advice


thanks.

Does your web host allow for your own .htaccess file? If you are using cPanel you can configure all of the error documents inside of cPanel.
