I have something very similar.
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.html

Looking at the error log does the trick for me (some slight obscurification
for privicy)...

$ tail -n1 /hosts/david.us-lot.org/logs/error.log
[Wed Jul 30 12:04:56 2003] [error] [client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] File does not
exist: /XXXXXXX/XXXXXXXX/www/does/not/exist

Anyways, using "getenv ("REQUEST_URI");" in the Error PHP file allows me to
receive an email when there is an error.
And hopefully correct them without getting too many mails

I don't understand. Getting the REQUEST_URI is the way to do it, so why
did you ask how in your OP? I'm assuming either you found the answer
yourself or your question referred to something else. So?

Hi,

Yes I did find the answer somewhere else.
I just wanted to share it with the others.
Maybe I should have spent a little bit longer trawling google but at the
time I thought I did everything.
