    From cPanel home I click Error Pages->404

    I enter the details of the page and I save as 404.php. Although the 404.php page is saved, it is not displayed when I visit a page that doesn't exist. When I return to edit the 404 page it has reverted back to .shtml ..

    Is there a way to make my default 404 page PHP? I could use a meta tag to refresh the page but I don't want search engines to consider my site junk.

    Thanks in advance.

    When I used to do ErrorPages on a cPanel/WHM server, I bypassed the nice GUI for it and went straight to the .htaccess file for more control. You can add your ErrorDocument directives there to point to your PHP file and ignore the .shtml files.

    Documentation for Apache 1.3's implementation of ErrorDocument:
    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#errordocument

    Of course, you could always do a kludge and have .shtml files parsed by the PHP interpreter. I advise against this because of the potential for unnecessary server load.
