sharepoint 2013 custom error page

Question

for one Sharepoint 2013 site, I successfully managed to create a custom 404 error page by setting the site parameter vti_filenotfoundpage to the desired URL.

However, this does not work for another sharepoint 2013 site and I have no clue why.

Setting the same parameter shows now effect. Also setting another parameter SPSite.FileNotFoundUrl doesnt do it.

Apparently I am not able to add the 'error page' to the content type: For the parent content type "Publishing Content Types" or "Page Layout Content Types" I can only select other options.

How can I map the error page (which is non-existent at the moment) to a custom page? Thanks!

edit: I assume to have a 15 Hive site (as the site settings URL contains .../_layout/15/...)

I created various files but none of them works (CustomError.aspx, PageNotFoundError.aspx as well as in Site Pages as in the site root directory).

I have site owner and designer rights (but no admin/collection). And I am working on a sub site (have only rights to this sub site).

Plase see https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/154480/how-to-create-custom-error-page-in-sharepoint-2013 - it is original answer and you can find other solutions here.

As mentioned in linked topic: "Using SharePoint Designer 2013 (set vti_filenotfoundpage property) – With the new Site Options in SharePoint Designer 2013, you can assign the vti_filenotfoundpage property of the site to a Custom Error Page that you might have deployed in the 15 Hive. ", - that means you can only use error page from current site's 15 Hive, not from other site.
