I would like to customize my 404 error page but I cannot find how to do it. When I download the file 404.shtml it just refers me to a cgisys directory that I cannot find. Help?

That shows BH's generic 404 page. You can make your own. You can include all the html to make it look like the rest of your pages. You should point out on the page that the requested page was not found. You can put this code:
I can't find mydomain.com/<!--#echo var="REQUEST_URI" -->
Then you can put something like, try our home page, or contact our web master.

That will show the requested page that is missing.

I tried creating a new error page using the format of all my other pages and I named it 404.shtml (as the file currently is named in the root directory), uploading it and re-writing the files that exists. But the default error page is still showing up.

Ideas?

Of course I already tried that, that was the first thing I did. It still just show the basic error page.
