Ok... is there a question in there someplace?

What's wrong in this code to show this errors during compilation?

(Sorry for my english)

It's hard to say without seeing all the code. It sounds to me like perhaps the definition of the struct is not visible when you define and initialize file_404_html, so the compiler doesn't know what it should look like and whether you're initializing it correctly. This might have to do with the struct being in a different file and not being #included, or with the order of the statements in your code.
