SYMPTOMS
Your control panel does not allow you to change the 404 Error to use 404.php CAUSE They may use a fixed 404.shtml or the Administrator may have disabled the feature. SOLUTION Create a file called .htaccess in your web documents root directory (your installation includes htaccess.txt which can be renamed). Make sure it includes:- CODE ErrorDocument 404 /404.php For example your .htaccess might look like this:- CODE ########################## #Apache Only system file ########################## #Sets up 404 ########################## ErrorDocument 404 /404.php ########################## # Remove the # to disable magic quotes # (This could cause server errors if you # do not have permission) ########################## #php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off You can also check these settings SYMPTOMS Although you have setup the Custom Errors for your web server to call 404.php none of the virtual pages, rotator URLs or link tracker URLs are working correctly and may send you to the homepage. CAUSE Some server configurations adding superfluous characters to the query string. SOLUTION Switch on the 404 Filter BCP -->Configuration --> General Configuration --> 404 Filter --> Yes Also check Also check your .htaccess has not been overwritten or altered in such a way as to invalidate the ErrorDocument entry. |
