I use Joomla! CMS and Gavick template. http://agirsaglam.com is the url of my website.
The problem is, my 404 error page not working. http://postimg.org/image/uur5pm25z/

I tried Joomla’s own documentation about configuring an error page, but it didn’t work. Downloaded an extension but it didnt work also. Asked to Gavick guys, they suggested me to ask server provider.

What would be the problem and how can i solve it? I have heard it is important for SEO.

Thank you for any consideration.

You have to configure your web server for 404 error page, tor example apache, nginx.

Hey, thanks for your answer.

Checked out this tutorial, but there is no such line in my htaccess.txt

actually, my problem is not about custom 404 error page, it is about error page itself. regular joomla 404 error page looks like this

but mine looks http://postimg.org/image/uur5pm25z/

if i get the regular look, it is easy to change it and make it look cool.

Thanks
