Problem with ErrorDocument and Pretty URLs

[seregarem]

I have such a .htaccess file:

Code: Select all

ErrorDocument 404 /

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} cat-850.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://dkr-zakaz.ru/? [R=301,L]

But if I go to a bad link (http://dkr-zakaz.ru/doc111.html), there is a message: The requested URL was not found on this server.
If I delete RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA] then after going to a bad link (http://dkr-zakaz.ru/doc111.html), it redirects me to the right page (home page). What's wrong? Help, please!

P.S. Sometimes when I' going to, for example, http://dkr-zakaz.ru/news/7/61/ekonomich ... ploma.html a browser write: The requested URL was not found on this server. When I update page hierarchy positions, it redirect to the right page. What's wrong?

why not use the cmsms default 404 contenttype?

My client asked me to send a visitor to the home page...

Please help!!!

The easy way: insert this on the custom 404 page {redirect_page page='home'}... However 404 pages have their purpose (every error page has...) and I'm not sure if redirecting to home is good practice, nor do I think it's good for SEO purposes...
There are other ways... but all sums up to good practice and SEO...
