Not sure if this is true for all server configurations but on my Apache server all I had to do was create a page 404.shtml in the root of the web.

if you are running apache.. create a file called .htaccess (You can create it in /indiantalk)

In the file add the line:
ErrorDocument 404 /indiantalk/YourErrorPage.html

Where "YourErrorPage.html" is the name of your custom error page..

By putting it in /indiantalk you can match the style of your forums.. should you create other sections of the site.. You can have other error docs match those sections..

First of all thanks for reply i have a problem that is iwant to put an index page before entering in to a forum and i think that the eeropage should be put in http_public directory as main or in the /indiantalk just this single doubt ?

by putting the error page in http_public, it will server as the error page for the entire site.
