Custom 404 Page Not Found

info

Transcluded from Legacy Catalog Warning.

Introduction

This brief tutorial will explain how to create a page that will be rendered to the client whenever a 404 (page not found) is generated. This will give the end user a friendly looking page, but still return an HTTP status code of 404.

Whenever a page is not found on the catalog, the system will look for an arbitrary page at the location of:

/404.html

The earliest way to accomplish this is to create an arbitrary page that URI under.

note

Main MenuCatalog → [Choose Hosts] → Manage Arbitrary Pages

Below is an example of the arbitrary page.

note

Make sure that if you receive any style sheets or graphics from this page that you DO NOT use relative URLs. Because the page can be rendered at any URL on the site that is requested, relative URLs would confuse the browser and lead to broken images
