Not sure I am asking this in the right catagory.... but here goes.
We know how to make a ".htaccess" file that refers to a custom 404 error page, and upload it to the hosting server.
My question concerns a site I did for an organization where each chapter makes and uploads it's own chapter site to a "subdomain" set up like this:
chaptername.domainname.net
One of the chapters wants to make thier own custom 404 error page. I told them how to make and load the ".htaccess" file to their own root directory and refer it to their custom page. But it does not seem to work. Does this only work when the ".htaccess" file is in the root directory for the whole domain? Or what?
