Hi guys,
I was under the impression that if i had a 404 error on my site that codeigniter would display the error page under "errors/error404.php". Right now i only get an error from my hosting account. Is there something i need to turn on to get this to show up or do i need to enable this in apache.

It sounds like your .htaccess isn't setup or isn't working. If it's working, it'll send the uri to CI's index.php page, therefore your server won't ever return a 404. But if CI can't find anything relating to that uri, it will return a 404. So the fact that you're seeing your servers 404 tells me it's not loading the index.php file, so the .htaccess is probably not working.
