Custom 404 page

I tried to follow the instruction here to create a custom 404 page:

Create a Custom vBulletin "404 Page Not Found" Page, and direct vBSEO to use it.

After following the instructions, when I try it, here is what I get:


Warning: include(/usr/home/dfp/public_html/404.php ) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/dfp/public_html/vbseo.php on line 1446

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/usr/home/dfp/public_html/404.php ' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/dfp/public_html/vbseo.php on line 1446

What's wrong ? What is missing?

I am not a programmer and don't know PHP so please be simple in explaining it.

Thank you.

Marc

did you actually create the 404.php script as the post describes?

Yes, I created the 404.php file.. and it is in public_html folder with this code in it

<?php
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
header("Status: 404 Not Found");
$_GET['do']='page';
$_REQUEST['do']='page';
$_GET['template']='404';
$_REQUEST['template']='404';
define('VBSEO_PREPROCESSED', 1);
include '/usr/home/dfp/public_html/misc.php';
?>


the dfp is the actual username on the server .

edit.
your error tells me what i need... lol

remove the '/usr' form the prefix. you are only in /home



include '/usr/home/dfp/public_html/misc.php';
should be
include '/home/dfp/public_html/misc.php';

Ok.. I fixed what you said in the 404.php and changed it to...

<?php
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
header("Status: 404 Not Found");
$_GET['do']='page';
$_REQUEST['do']='page';
$_GET['template']='404';
$_REQUEST['template']='404';
define('VBSEO_PREPROCESSED', 1);
include '/home/dfp/public_html/misc.php';
?>


And I changed it to this in the VBSEO custom script box:

/home/dfp/public_html/404.php


But I still get this...



Warning: include(/home/dfp/public_html/404.php ) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/dfp/public_html/vbseo.php on line 1446

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/dfp/public_html/404.php ' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/dfp/public_html/vbseo.php on line 1446

Am I missing something?

Looks like you have an extra space character at the end of filename setting, you should remove it.

Solved! Little things sometimes.. Thank you very much.
