Implementing http404 in django

Question

Implementing page not found in django and have looked at the documentation 404

I do not get a page not found error as yet what ami doing here

In my code in urls i have done the following,

  url(r'^$', 'site_config.views.pagenotfound')

from django.http import Http404

 def pagenotfound(request):
   return render_to_response('polls/pagenotfound.html', {})

What's the problem. Do you get an error, a blank page, what? — Chris Pratt, Aug 29 '12 at 14:36
for any link that i click pagenotfound function is called even if it is a valid link — Rajeev, Aug 29 '12 at 14:38
This i have included in the main urls.py for the project where the other modules urls have been defined — Rajeev, Aug 29 '12 at 14:46

The way you handle 404 and 500 in django is: by default, in the templates directory, create a 404.html

If you need a custom handler, just add these to urls.py

handler404 = 'views.page_not_found_custom'    
handler500 = 'views.page_error_found_custom'

design the 404.html page the way you want
