I am using a .htaccess file for a short url system that I made. It is supposed to use a file, sudir.php, to find the url that the "code" that was entered is for. But whenever I goto the page at http://localhost/shorturl/t10m3S which doesn't exist so it is supposed to redirect with sudir.php, but it only takes me to a generic "Not Found" page.
This is what i have in my .htaccess:
ErrorDocument 404 /shorturl/sudir.php
If I change it to my phptesting folder, it shows the index of that folder. If I change it to just the shorturl folder, it still gives me the generic 404 error page. If I remove it completely it shows the default page from Apache. So it basically seems like Apache or .htaccess or something doesn't know that the shorturl folder exists even though I can access it and it works. It seems all I need is for it to acknowledge that the folder is there and actually load the sudir.php file, but I don't know what to do.
Additional Info:
I am using a .htaccess file in a different directory to redirect to YouTube pages like how youtu.be does and it works perfectly fine. I did have the same problem with it though at first, but I just renamed the folder it was in and changed the .htaccess to correspond and it started working. I have tried the same with shorturl, but it did not work.
