   Hi David,   
      
   This is a very good support question. I will answer in the mailing    
   list since it will benefit others.   
      
   Ok, as of 7.0.454.4, these are stock files in the http\errors\ subfolder

   You made a copy of your default wcat HTTP\template and HTTP\Errors    
   into your VDG   
      
        d:\web\Military World\errors\   
      
   The AUP Virtual Domains help explains what needs to be copied to a new VDG   
      
        http://www.winserver.com/public/aup/Wildcat-Create-Virtual-Domain.htm   
      
   So now you want to customize the http\errors\notfound.wct, so you created   
      
        d:\web\Military World\errors\custom\notfound.html   
      
   and it doesn't work for you, you don't see your custom web page.   
      
   The solution:   
      
   The custom replacement is not NotFound.html but NotFound.wct, so    
   rename it notfound.wct and you will see it work.  The trick is match    
   the file name of the stock template you are customizing.  So in this    
   case, you want to replace notfound.wct, not notfound.html.   
      
   Hope this helps
