title: htaccess errordocument not working
body: <p>My understanding is that to show a custom error page, one must put</p>
  
  <pre><code>ErrorDocument 404 /error/404.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in .htaccess</p>
  
  <p>Also, </p>
  
  <pre><code>AllowOverride All
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>must be set in httpd.conf file. However, right now it's set to </p>
  
  <pre><code>AllowOverride None
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I change None to All, then restart the server, I get a Internal Server Error 500 when I deliberately enter gibberish in the address bar. What am I doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Other things in the file</p>
  
  <pre><code>IndexIgnore *
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>followed by</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteEngine on
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>followed by rewrite rules.</p>
  
  <p>RewriteEngine on is the cause of the problem--see below.</p>
