redirect if error 404

[Guest]

This is an apache question (little off-topic)

I have this .htaccess in web root
--------------
ErrorDocument 404 /error404handler .php
--------------
BUT I take in Mozilla this when I call a URL that dont exist:
--------------------
Not Found
The requested URL /this_dont_exist was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an
ErrorDocument to handle the request.
---------------------

Why Error 403 Forbidden in ErrorDocument?? ?
both .htaccess and error404handler .php have chmod 644

In server there are many server roots
My root is

http://tassadar.physics.auth.gr/~chameleon/

maybe this is relative?

You should provide some more hints about your system. Is all
other .htaccess directives working for you???

Try using the full URL for the redirect. If that works, at least you know
it's not an .htaccess problem.
