Why is my 404 handler not working in apache?

I cannot make my 404 ErrorDocument work

This is my virtual host configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin [email protected]
        ServerName mydomain.com
        ServerAlias landing.mydomain.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain.com/public_html
        ErrorDocument 404 /var/www/html/mydomain.com/public_html/errors/404.html
</VirtualHost>

This are all 304:

mydomain.com/errors/404.html
mydomain.com
landing.mydomain.com

And this is a 404:

http://factuplus.com/noexists.html

Not Found

The requested URL /noexists.html was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Your ErrorDocument path should be relative to the DocumentRoot: 

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin [email protected]
        ServerName mydomain.com
        ServerAlias landing.mydomain.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain.com/public_html
        ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.html
</VirtualHost>

Optionally, you could use the full URL: 

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin [email protected]
        ServerName mydomain.com
        ServerAlias landing.mydomain.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain.com/public_html
        ErrorDocument 404 http://factuplus.com/errors/404.html
</VirtualHost>
