Drop an .htaccess file in your httpdocs root containing lines such as follows:

ErrorDocument 400 /error_pages/400.html

The ErrorDocument 400 directive tells the server to return /error_pages/400.html whenever http error 400 occurs. The path and filename of the actual error page you create will vary based on however you have your filesystem organized, so just specify the relative path from your htdocs root to wherever your custom error pages are stored.

For different error codes, just change the 400 to whatever error condition you want to address with a custom error page. I have the following in mine..

ErrorDocument 400 /error_pages/400.html
ErrorDocument 403 /error_pages/403.html
ErrorDocument 404 /error_pages/404.html
ErrorDocument 405 /error_pages/405.html
ErrorDocument 408 /error_pages/408.html
ErrorDocument 500 /error_pages/500.html
ErrorDocument 501 /error_pages/501.html
ErrorDocument 503 /error_pages/503.html
