If you're running a Windows Server with Apache httpd you can use .htaccess files as well as in Linux.

If you're using the Windows Server IIS you can use web.config files.

You can take a look here for more information how to configure web.config files to redirect on 404 errors.

Maybe this is what you searching for.

Already the directory has web.cofig file in it. So I guess the server is Windows Server IIS. I've made some changes but still not workong.. – Rakesh Dec 02 '13 at 09:58
What changes did you tried? And have you restart the IIS after changes? – Maarkoize Dec 02 '13 at 10:09

If you have apache the same .htaccess file should work.

Use this code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <httpErrors>
            <remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" />
            <error statusCode="404" prefixLanguageFilePath="" path="error\404.php" />
         </httpErrors>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
