Apache :: apache error page

I've got custom error pages setup, including the htaccess file, but when I try and test it out it comes up with a page and all it says is the name of the error file, like if its a 404 the page says 404.html (the name of my custom 404 error page). Any ideas why it does this? You can view it at:

http://81.77.66.147/nonexistent.html

and whats supposed to come up:

http://81.77.66.147/404.html

usual url is http://mattsnow.co.uk/ but just changed nameservers might take a while to update.

Your config is ok! it works correct.
If you which 404.html in the URL you need a redirect in the 404.html

you may use

ErrorDocument 404 /404.php

inside the php you can redirect to the 404.html

I don't see there a need for it, but if you want to just do it.

I don't really want to install php, is there another way?

Example for a redirect in HTML:

<!doctype html public "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
<html>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.xxxx.com">
</html>

i fixed it by changing a line of code in the htaccess file like this:

ErrorDocument 500 500.html

to this

ErrorDocument 500 http://mattsnow.co.uk/500.html

thanks for your attention anyway, everyone
