Apache finds the text of the custom 404 at the DocRoot reference, but apparently interprets the <link rel= as being "rel" to the missing page, so does not format the text. The client "page source" shows the correct relative path.Thanks Eric, problem solved. Wrote the styles into the html. I just wanted to keep the client's browser showing the file [s]he had tried to find, rather than /error/404.html.You could also put the absolute path to the css file in the href.
Thanks. How? It does works by using an absolute URL such as <https://mysite.com/css/general.css> Maybe that's what you're suggesting? I've had no luck trying to define an "internal" "absolute path" -- as Eric wrote, the client sets a relative path, despite the html headers. (I looked at Alias with no joy, and tried (a nightmare to manage on a site with several thousand files) splattering a load of directories with symlinks.)
