Custom 404 error page for phpVMS

[dimitris]

While I was trying to find some old files on my server I came up to the awful 404 error page of Apache... Then I made my custom one which(I Think) looks much better

Steps:

If .htaccess not exist go to step 1.2

1)Edit .htaccess file and add the following line:

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.yourdomainname.com/index.php/notfound404

Save, close and upload to your root directory.

1.2)Create a .htaccess with the following contents:

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.yourdomainname.com/index.php/notfound404

Save, close and upload to your root directory.

2)create a folder in core/modules named "notfound404" and make a php file named "notfound404.php" with the following contents:

<?php
class notfound404 extends CodonModule
{

   	public function index()
   	{	
   	Template::Show('404.tpl');
   	}
}

?>

3)Now in your skin folder make a 404.tpl file and place inside it whatever you wanna see if something not found. (f.i):

<strong><h2>The page could not be found on the server.<br />
Error number 404.</h2>
</strong>
It appears that you have come up on a page that is not present on this web site. It could have been re/moved, spelled incorrectly.<br/><br />

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused.<br /><br />
| <a href="<?php echo SITE_URL; ?>/index.php">Home Page</a> | <a href="<?php echo SITE_URL; ?>/index.php/contact">Tell as about the error</a> | <a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">Go Back</a> |<br/>
 

4)Place your browser to http://www.yourdomainname.com/index.php/notfound404 and see if it works.
