You need to create an .htaccess file with this inside of it:
ErrorDocument 404 /yourfulldirectory/404.php
What this does is tells your server where to look when it has a 404 error.
You can put an .htaccess file in each directory so each directory will have
a different 404 error. Or you can put it in the root "/404.php" since the
file is recursive within directories.
And then I have inside my 404.php file a little script that emails me the
referrer page and the link that created the error, plus a little to tell the
user that the page was not found of course :)
The Page with error is $HTTP_REFERER
The Link on that Page is $REDIRECT_SCRIPT_URI
I hope that helps!
