htaccess 404 page for specific subdirectory only (static html pages) - .htaccess

Stuck again with htaccess. How can I add a 404 page to a specific subdirectory?
In my case the 404 page should only affect the "staging" subdirectory (and the directories inside of staging) but not the root or any other subdirectories placed in root.
http://example.com/staging
The code which is in my .htaccess file for the directory "staging":
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html [L]
Options -Indexes -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^arbeiten/$ /staging/arbeiten/alle [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^journal/$ /staging/journal/journal-alle [R=301,L]
ErrorDocument 404 /staging/404.html
Using the code above (and many others) results in a Internal Server Error.

Update #1 to my initial question.
In general, the code/answer provided to add a 404 not found page to a specific sub directory works:
ErrorDocument 404 /staging/404.html
The reason why it still does not work is because there must be some error in the overall .htaccess setup related to the code remove .html extension and/or redirect to a page in a folder.
Options -Indexes -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html [L]
RewriteRule ^arbeiten/$ /staging/arbeiten/alle [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^journal/$ /staging/journal/journal-alle [R=301,L]
ErrorDocument 404 /at/404.html
I will continue to further investigate the setup in my .htaccess.
Update #2
Using the .htaccess script below allows to remove .html extensions, redirect pages to a specific page within a directory and basically a working 404 not found page within a specific sub directory on a Hostgator cPanel grid hosting (apache).
Options -Indexes -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule !.*\.html$ %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html [L]
RewriteRule ^arbeiten/$ /staging/arbeiten/alle [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^journal/$ /staging/journal/journal-alle [R=301,L]
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.example.com/staging/404
Remaining 404 problem:
http://example.com/staging/blabla (404 works)
http://example.com/staging/folder/blala (404 works)
http://example.com/staging/folder/project-detail-pagexxx (404 works)
http://example.com/staging/folder/project-detail-pagexxx/ (404 does not work)

Htacess Multi language

Im trying to do a multi language errordocument on my htaccess.
But it doesnt enter to my original 404 error page or it just only goes to one of the error pages.
i just want to check the folder and if the folder is "pt", it goes to the portuguese 404error page, else it goes to the other pages with the correspond language.
i already tryed more example but non have help me.
In below there some code that i had already tryed.
Try #1
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.teleondagroup.com/novosite/Teleonda/
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}) $1/404error.php [L]
Try #2
RewriteRule ^(pt)/ /$1/404error.php [R,L]
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.teleondagroup.com/novosite/Teleonda/pt/404error.php
RewriteRule ^(en)/ /$1/404error.php [R,L]
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.teleondagroup.com/novosite/Teleonda/en/404error.php
I already solve the problem with this site.

You can use something like the following :
RewriteEngine on
#if a file or directory doesn't exist in a particular folder
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$0 !-f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$0 !-d
#redirect the request to /errorpage.php in that folder
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/.*$ /$1/errorpage.php [L,R]
This will Redirect a 404 Uri to /errorpage.php file located in the requested directory ie . example.com/demo/brokenlink.php to example.com/demo/errorpage.php .
Or if this is just for a single directory /pt you can use the following :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?pt.*$ /pt/errorpage.php [L,R]

Redirect to subfolder with same name on localhost

I have a webproject saved in a "base" folder of the domain "example.com" which contains a main.php and several subfolders. The second part of the code below redirects all requests (except main.php itself and page404.php) to this main.php and hands over the originally requested URL in the variable "path".
In addition there is a first part which redirects all requests of pages of the baseurl to a subfolder "folder1". So in the end the request of
www.example.com/somepage.php
will lead to
example.com/main.php?path=www.example.com/folder1/somepage.php
(Requests to other subfolders shall only be redirected to the main.php. So www.example.com/somefolder/somepage.php will lead to example.com/main.php?path=www.example.com/somefolder/somepage.php - without adding "folder1".)
The code below actually does what I want:
ErrorDocument 404 /page404.php
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
#first part: redirect to folder1/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^page404*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ folder1/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ index.php
#second part: redirect to main.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (.*)\.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !main\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !page404\.php
RewriteRule ^([^?]*)$ /main.php?path=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
</IfModule>
But I have two questions:
Side question: I have the feeling that actually redirecting to "folder1" is way to complicated (even though it works) when I only want to add the "folder1" to the path variable in case a file of the base folder is called. Can you show me a better way to archieve this?
Main question: I have the same project on a localhost where the main folder is named "folder1" which contains the folder "folder1". So there the request of htttp://localhost/folder1/somepage.php shall lead to htttp://localhost/folder1/main.php?path=htttp://localhost/folder1/folder1/somepage.php (I replaced "http" by "htttp" to avoid automatic link recognition of SO) - How do I have to change the code above to have it working in the "localhost/folder1" scenario?
This stuff can be simplified:
ErrorDocument 404 /page404.php
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
# ignore main.php, page404.php OR any files/directory for any rules below
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(main|page404)\.php
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
#first part: /folder1/path
RewriteRule ^([^/]+?\.php)$ main.php?path=folder1/$1 [L,QSA]
#second part: rewrite to main.php
RewriteRule ^(.+?\.php)$ main.php?path=$1 [L,QSA]

Codeigniter .htaccess not ignoring directories

I have a website built on codeigniter and am trying to get the PP IPN working with it. I have looked at a few CI specific libraries, but want to have a stand alone IPN file.
Basically, I have CI installed in the website root and I have another directory 'pp', also in the root.
I'm trying to test the IPN using Paypal's sandbox, but it's returning a 404, I also can't access the file directly.
Here is my .htaccess file:
XSendFile on
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
### Canonicalize codeigniter URLs
RewriteRule ^(index(/index)?|index(\.php)?)/?$ / [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index/?$ $1 [L,R=301]
# Removes trailing slashes (prevents SEO duplicate content issues)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ $1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.net/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|pp|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
# Without mod_rewrite, route 404's to the front controller
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
Here's hoping it's something really obvious!
Thanks,
Ryan
If the pp directory exists, you could just put an htaccess file in that directory and just have:
RewriteEngine On
in it by itself, and any rules in the main htaccess file would get ignored. If your paypal stuff already has rewrite rules in an htaccess file in the pp directory, you may want to look into those rules as the cause of the 404.
Do you have mod_rewrite.c enabled. If not, that .htaccess will always give 404. (Sorry I couldn't make this a comment, don't have the rep).

.htaccess redirect to sub folder works occassionally

I have a site which runs from a sub directory - hosted on HostGator. Most of the htaccess rules work to redirect to the sub directory except for one.
if i go to example.com/products - I get an invisible redirect to example.com/subfolder/products - it appears correctly in the address bar as example.com/products
however if i go to example.com/news - I get a visible redirect to example.com/subfolder/news - it appears in the address bar incorrectly as example.com/subfolder/news
The following is the .htaccess code I am using in my root folder:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ /subfolder/ [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder/$1 [L]
For reference: If I type example.com/news into the browser I am visibly redirected to example.com/subfolder/news - however if I type example.com/news into the browser a second time I am invisibly redirected!
Google has crawled the site and is serving the visible redirect urls (so they appear in Google as example.com/subfolder/news)
UPDATE:
In that .htaccess file the only other line I have it Options -Indexes
In the subfolder .htaccess file I also have
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L,QSA]
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.example.com/403
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.example.com/404
ErrorDocument 500 http://www.example.com/500
I'm with HostGator if that would have any bearing?

htaccess ErrorDocument 404 conflict with RewriteEngine On

I'm using the below in my htaccess file to strip out the .php extensions on my files. It works fine.
However, I also want to utilize ErrorDocument 404 /index.php to redirect any non existing urls back to the homepage. If I use ErrorDocument 404 /index.php alone in the htaccess, the redirects work fine. Also, if I use the below Rewrite code it successfully strips the php extensions. I would like both of these to work together, however.
For example, if a user enters "www.domain.com/register", they go to www.domain.com/register.php. But if they enter "www.domain.com/something", and something.php doesn't exist, then they redirect back to index.php. I've tried every permutation of both of these together in my htaccess to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]
Not sure what the problem you're having is exactly, but if I change your rules to this, it works for me:
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]
So instead of checking if the request isn't accessing an actual file/directory that exists, check that the .php version of that file DOES exist.
