Php – Apache 404 Error While PHP File Exists

chmodhttp-status-code-404PHP

I am getting 404 error while the file exist. I gave the file (chmod 755) still the file does not show up. Strange part it only happens to few files. I am certain the file exists on the directory and PHP file have no script errors. My .htaccess file says

ErrorDocument 404 http://mydomain.com/404.shtml

This only happens on my Google Chrome browser and it works fine on Safari.

If it only happens in some browsers but not in others, have you tried clearing the browser cache? ErrorDocument with an absolute URL will send a redirect, which might be cached in your browser.

Htaccess redirect of 404 error just prints filename, doesn’t execute file

The ErrorDocument directive can be used several ways, depending on the syntax. To execute a file the way you want, you must use the full path relative to the DocumentRoot, preceded with a /. Otherwise, it's taken to be a literal message to be displayed, which is what is happening for you.

Try this:

 ErrorDocument 404 /thumbs/program.php

Referrer Spam is where a spammer sends fake Referrer data to see if it ends up in the referrers section of your public web-pages showing your standard web-log analyses (e.g "Top Referrers"). If the fake referrer does become visible, the spammer know they can use this technique to place spam links into your web-site causing visitors to your site to see links to their spam sites.
