create a .Htaccess file with input the below and ensure it is placed in the webroot:

ErrorDocument 404 http://yourdomain.com/pagenotfound.html

Whether it PHP or not if you are using Apache server .htaccess file is important.
Firstly, you need to rename the file from htaccess.txt to .htaccess.

inside you ht access file to specify error file ,

Assuming you error files are in the error folder located in the public directory.

For instance your your 401 error file location is : yourwebsite.com/error/401.html.

You can declare it in your .htaccess file as below:

ErrorDocument 401 /error/401.html
ErrorDocument 403 /error/403.html
ErrorDocument 404 /error/404.html
ErrorDocument 500 /error/500.html

I dont think they answered your question.
The file is neither .php nor .txt. It is a special type of file of its own kind; it is simply .htaccess, you see the dot (.) before htaccess it is crucial!

So just create a new file and save the file as .htaccess NOT htaccess.txt or htaccess.php
