404 redirecting behavior

[zico]

Hi!
I created a customize 404 error page (missing.html) and I add a line to .htaccess, so it looks like bellow:


AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php4-source .phps
Action application/x-httpd-php4 /cgi-bin/php
Action application/x-httpd-php-source /cgi-bin/php
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.mysite.com/missing.html

The problem that I have is that is working only for html file (when I point to http://www.mysite.com/foo.html the redirection works but when I point to http://www.mysite.com/foo.php it doesn't and I get an ugly 500 'Internal Server error').

Note: the permissions on .htacces were set by
chmod 644 .htaccess

Thanks!

Hi zico,
I didn't use php as cgi ( just to be curios...why did you use php as cgi ? ) but:

a)
if you type yoursite.com/foo.php directly does it work ?

b)
is it possible for you to have access to the error_log file and tell us the description of the 500 error ?

c)
should not it better to use
ErrorDocument 404 /foo.php
instead ?
