Error when creating a custom ErrorDocument 404 in apache
You don't use the full path in ErrorDocument. Its relative to your htdocs root
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#errordocument
if your root is /var/www/site/public/
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
You can also do a full url
ErrorDocument 404 http://domain.com/404.html
EDIT
You can do this for each vhost then
Alias /404 /full/path/to/404.html
ErrorDocument 404 /404
