If you want different errors in different directories, then put an 
.htaccess in the directory and link it to the error page as above:

ErrorDocument XXX /path_to/file

For XXX use the correct error number.  404 is a PAGE NOT FOUND.  You 
wanted a 401 AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED.

Mostly only the 400s are used.  You can check your logs to see if any 
particular errors show up more than others or several times.


*Client Request Errors*
400 	Bad Request
401 	Authorization Required
402 	Payment Required (not used yet)
403 	Forbidden
404 	Not Found
405 	Method Not Allowed
406 	Not Acceptable (encoding)
407 	Proxy Authentication Required 	
408 	Request Timed Out
409 	Conflicting Request
410 	Gone
411 	Content Length Required
412 	Precondition Failed
413 	Request Entity Too Long
414 	Request URI Too Long
415 	Unsupported Media Type
