Strange .htaccess ErrorDocument Error

i have the following line in my .htaccess file which is situated on my PC at G:/xampp/htdocs/project/public_html/.htaccess

ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

So when I enter any non-valid address, for example http://localhost/project/public_html/blabla , the following message appears:

Not Found

The requested URL /project/public_html/blabla was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.17 OpenSSL/0.9.8o PHP/5.3.4 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1 Server at localhost Port 80

But this is not my 404.html page!

But when I edit the ErrorDocument Syntax and include full link, i.e. make it:

ErrorDocument 404 http://localhost/project/public_html/404.html

but this redirects non existing links correctly to 404.html, but redirection is not what i want! I want a simple 404 error page!

Also one more strange thing is, when I remove the line completely from the .htaccess file, the error changes to this:

Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404

creepy, eh? so could someone help me out and tell me whats going on please?

/ references the web root, so your paths don't quite make sense. Either move the file to the web root, or change the path to reflect the path relative to the web root. (Either move the file to /xampp/htdocs, or change the path to /project/public_html/404.html.)
