specify custom 404s with httpd in 5.7

[Kevin]

Helllooo misc,

How does one go about specifying a custom 404 page w/the new httpd?

This seems like the correct directive:

        error_page 404 /some/path/404.html

Yet it am no workie for me when I specify it thusly:

        listen on 192.168.2.10 port 80
        root "/htdocs/example.com"
        error_page   404  /404.html

[In fact, adding that error_page line makes httpd not (re)start]

Anyone got their clue stick handy to bludgeon me with?

Thanks,
Kevin
