Topic: VirtualHost not following ErrorDocument 404

[robbiesyd]

Hi

I have a problem with my Virtual Hosts not following my ErrorDocument 404.

Here is an example -

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.212>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName mysite.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/mysite
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

#ErrorDocument 404 http://www.mysite.com commented out cos didnt work
ErrorDocument 404 "404"
#thought id try a text message as specifying documents doesnt work, tried several

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/mysite-error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/mysite-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

When you go to www.mysite.com/doesntexist you get the message
#######################
Not Found

The requested URL /dfsdfsds was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) PHP/5.2.0-8+etch13 Server at peerstop.com Port 80
######################
Im particularly concerned with the "Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request." bit.

I might also point out there is no other references to ErrorDocument directives in my entire /etc/apache2 directory, ive searched with grep to confirm.

Any idea on what might be going on?
