Either using missing.html or changing .htaccess file. I simply want a page to google 404 error page display as missing.html; but within this page I would like to include the wrong URL the user entered or linked from. In the standard 404 error page is usually states:
404 Error Page Not Found
Not Found The requested URL /xxxxxxx/ was not found on this server. How can I drop this phrase into my custom 404 missing.html page? Frankly, Ideally what I'd like to do is have that URL automatically entered into a search box on my WordPress website. I know that'd be tricky but what's happened is I migrated my site from the old blog funny 404 error page system "Radio" to word press. I've got all my posts, but within some of those posts I refer back to pages. It's impossible to identify all those pages with self-referrals AND identify the new Word Press URL for that page. So in summary I'd like 1) how do i include the mis-directed URL in my missing.html page nice to know: 2) Can i have that mis-directed URL auto-fill in a Word Press Search Box on that Missing HTML page?

I imagine this points to using the "field" describing the BROKEN LINKED URL:

I've noticed that some people have created a customized web page that appears when you try to access a page on their site that does not exist. How can I do that? 404: File Not Found When a visitor to your site attempts to load a page that does not exist, they receive a generic error message stating that the requested page cannot be found. This is what is http://blog.dreamhosters.com/kbase/index.cgi?area=160 known as a '404 error', and is often discovered through broken links to to pages on your site. The Solution Of course, the first thing you want to do is make sure that all links within your site are accurate. Your visitors will thank you for it. However, that won't catch incorrect links from other sites or the occasional mistyping of a URL. To catch these kinds of errors, you need to create a custom 404 error page, using the same methods you would to create any other page. Then, name it 'missing.html' and upload it to the root level of your domain. From that point on, it will replace the generic '404: File Not found' message that your visitors will encounter. Tips First off, your custom 404 error page should state something to the effect of why the expected page did not appear. This will clue your visitors in to the fact that they should probably back up and try again, or report a broken link if they got to the error from a link on your site. Internet Explorer doesn't (by default) display custom error pages, preferring to display its own error message. If you would like to override this, you can put hidden text in the page to increase the filesize to just over 512 bytes; IE will then display your custom error p

HTTP 404 CFitz555 Jun 3, 2013 6:30 AM Hi,I'm making a site for a client. When I went to upload, it was fine. The server connected fine in the site manager set up and then after I was 404 error finished and went to publish, it "put" the site and everything just fine. I'm getting an HTTP 404 error message when I go to the site: thehealingprana.com. I thought it was the server, and I can't for the life of me get a response for them (it's ridiculous that they don't have 24/7/365 support and only members can email them). I can't log in to the ftp files on the dreamhost site directly because when I go to the 404 error page page it's blank.Then I was thinking about it, is it my site that is the problem? Because the pages are uploading to the server successfully. I'm checking the W3C validation right now and going over things for bloated code, etc. but I can't find anything wrong. Does anyone know if this is the server or if it's my site that is causing this problem? Thanks.

project a while back, I decided to start monitoring 404 errors on the blog to see if I missed any incoming links that needed to be redirected. I was surprised to find that the logs showed no 404 errors at all from within the blog structure. Images, sure, but no articles, no tags, no categories. This seemed a bit hard to believe. I tested it by deliberately hitting a non-existent page, and was dismayed to find that Apache logged the hit as 200 (OK). Crap! a WordPress update must have broken 404 handling! How long had this been going on? I'd better manually insert a header in the 404 page! That seemed to work, as far as Chrome's Developer Tools and curl -I were concerned. I didn't have time to follow up on the logs right away, so I checked back later…and the logs still showed 200 OK, not 404. WTF? It turned out that, when served through WordPress, Apache was sending a 404 code to the browser but logging a 200. Probably a plugin, right? Not so. I installed a fresh copy of WordPress on a test site and discovered something interesting: 404 codes were logged correctly when using the default /?p=123 permalink structure, but if I changed it to anything readable like /yyyy/title or even /title, the problem recurred. A little more investigation: I skipped WordPress entirely and just hit a PHP page that served up a 404. When I hit it directly, it logged correctly. But when I used WordPress' mod_rewrite rules to send a hit to that page, it logged a 200. So clearly, it was something about mod_rewrite. I don't run my own Apache server these days (my department at work is mainly a Windows shop), but I was pretty sure it didn't work that way back when I did. So I did some testing of different configurations at home and on my webhost. Direct hits always logged the correct status, but with a rewrite rule, here's what I found: FastCGI & CGI on DreamHost show 200/404. mod_php on home box shows 404/404. mod_php on DreamHost shows… 200/404. At this point I figured there was no point setting up a CGI or FastCGI-based PHP environment on my home box, because it was clearly something about Dreamhost's Apache configuration. It does log correctly if you use ErrorDocument directive to point 404 to a PHP script. But IMO that's abusing the error handler mechanism to do something it wasn't meant for. (Not that I haven't done it myself, but only on older IIS servers where ISAPI Rewrite and URL Rewrite weren't available.) I've added a custom logging snippet to my WordPress 404 page. There are other ways I can capture the data, but that seemed like the least overhead for now. View Kelson Vibber's profile on LinkedIn Share this:EmailFac
