I don't know what more I need to configure for the .htaccess to work.

ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

I have it in my document root /var/www/html where the 404.html is, but it doesn't work.

I tried editing apache2.conf, 

<Directory /var/www/>
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride All
  Require all granted
</Directory>

a suggestion I got from here, but when I entered a non-existent page I got an Internal Server Error 500, so I had to change AllowOverride All back to None.

Everything I look at tells me the same things, but nothing's working for me. This is on a new dedicated server, so it might be something I need to configure in apache2. Any help would be appreciated.

    _“I got an Internal Server Error 500, so I had to […]”_ … yes, check the error log, of course. – CBroe Mar 09 '16 at 21:43

    @CBroe - This is embarrassing. What I failed to mention in my post was that I also had 'AllowOverride All` at the head of the `.htaccess`. But I took that out and forgot about it. So when I made the same change in `apache2.conf`, it was giving me the error 500. I changed `apache2.conf` back to `AllowOverride All` and it works. Thanks for reminding me to check the error log. – fmc Mar 09 '16 at 21:53
