404 issues

[digidale]

I added to the .htaccess file:

ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

and created the 404 page, seen here: http://www.n-ccarpet.com/404.html

However, the 404 isnt working. This is pretty standard stuff, am I missing something? Are 404s done a different way in Typolight?

Hi

on backend you must create a error page

On the option of the page see the Page type. You must select 404 Page not found.

Thanks, setting the page type to 404 did make it work.

I played around a little, and discovered the following:
Setting page type to 404 made any non-existent _.html files trigger the 404. However, to get the 404 to be triggered for something like domain.com/eqwfegr (something that doesn't exist without the .html suffix), I still had to manually add "ErrorDocument 404 /404.html" to the .htaccess file, otherwise the 404 page was not triggered.

All is working properly now, just mentioning this in case anyone else runs into this issue.

Yes, it is correct

in the .htaccess i add this

ErrorDocument 404 /my-page-404.html
ErrorDocument 403 /my-page-403.html

Do you have to add 'ErrorDocument 404 /my-page-404.html' within a specific section of the .htaccess file?

The reason domain.com/eqwfegr doesn't auto-trigger the 404 page is because it's looking for a folder, not a page.

Thanks Ben. Understood.
