The place to set your 404 page is in the myFirstManilaSite's #objectNotFound handler. Otherwise known as Samuel Reynolds' ObjectNotFoundHandler. Read his tutorial.

Here's the one I use on all my sites.

local {
 pta = html.getPageTableAddress()};
on fourOhFour () {
 pta^.title = "404: Sorry - Page Not Found";
 pta^.template = string (pta^.adrSiteRootTable^.["#template"]);
 local {
 htmlText = manilaSuite.unTaint (pta^.path)}; //no curly brace macros in this text
 return ("404

We're sorry, the page *" + htmlText + "* was not found.

You may have mis-entered the URL. If not, you may be able to find the information you want via the navigation to the left or via the search form below.

" + manilaMacros.relativeLink ("Search", "/search/"))};
try {
 s = manilaSuite.hierarchyPage ();
 if pta^.code == 404 {
 fourOhFour ()}
 else {
 return (s)}}
else {
 if tryError beginsWith "!" { \// custom error or redirect message
 scriptError(tryError)}
 else {
 fourOhFour ()}}

This is a Manila site.. http://manila.userland.com/.
