How do you redirect all 404 requests to a specific page, regardless of the subdomain? - GoFuckYourself.com

Myst · 05-14-2007, 12:22 PM

Anyone know how to do this?

Basically all 404 requests to *.domain.com/* goes to domain.com/404.html

RewriteEngine On
ErrorDocument 400 http://www.domain.com/404.html
ErrorDocument 401 http://www.domain.com/404.html
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.domain.com/404.html
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.domain.com/404.html
ErrorDocument 500 http://www.domain.com/404.html
ErrorDocument 501 http://www.domain.com/404.html
ErrorDocument 503 http://www.domain.com/404.html

copy this to a text file in the root of all domains/sub domains that you want to redirect 404 traffic from and rename it to .htaccess

or do the same and just use the "ErrorDocument 404" line from above

that should do it, or someone here will correct me

I have this in my .htacess file:
_____________________________________
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Where exactly would you put this, to make it function properly, before, or after?

I tried it but it wont redirect all subdomains too..
domain.com/* -> 404.html works
*.domain.com/ -> doesnt

you need to setup wildcard subdomains

SmokeyTheBear · 05-14-2007, 02:04 PM

depending on your hoist its prob not setup that way by default so you will likely need to ask your host to setup wildcard subs

Excellent. Thanks.

I don't think the mod rewrite solution is the correct solution as it parses the headers as 200 instead of 404. This might look ok the the surfer but is technically incorrect and search engines won't like it much.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
