How to redirect 404 error to 404.php page?

Question

I need help in php. I am making one portal website in Core Php. I had created 404 page and .htaccess file.

404.php:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>404 Error - Page Not Found</title>
  </head>
  <body>404 Error - Page Not Found!</body>
</html>

.htaccess:

Redirect 404 /404.php

But this is not working. If I use this code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /404.html [L]
</IfModule>

It shows internal server error.

yes , this is the only code i am adding in .htaccess – Jaswinder Kaur Oct 09 '15 at 05:01
ErrorDocument 404 http://jobguide.australianenglishcenter.com/404.php try adding http:// if it doesnot work, check php config whether rewrite module is installed on ur server or not – ManojGeek Oct 09 '15 at 05:06
i am using http:// but not working. I also think so that there is some server issue. I had made this project from scratch .So if i need to add php config file in my project what to do? – Jaswinder Kaur Oct 09 '15 at 05:08
create a new file, add this piece of code : and give the link of that file , will check the config once – ManojGeek Oct 09 '15 at 05:09
i had put this code in new php file here is the link : http://jobguide.australianenglishcenter.com/phpconfig.php – Jaswinder Kaur Oct 09 '15 at 05:11

Try this in your .htaccess:

ErrorDocument 404 http://jobguide.australianenglishcenter.com/404/

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/404/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ <YourRelativePathToPHPFile>/404.php [L]

Here,The ErrorDocument redirects all 404s to a specific URL

The Rewrite rules map that URL to your actual 404.php script. The RewriteCond regular expressions can be made more generic if you want, but I think you have to explicitly define all ErrorDocument codes you want to override.

NOTE: Replace

there is nothing on jobguide.australianenglishcenter.com/404 . Are you using the correct path ? – Sumit Pandey Oct 09 '15 at 05:11
yes you can check this link: jobguide.australianenglishcenter.com/404.php – Jaswinder Kaur Oct 09 '15 at 05:13
I had used your code and it working but i is not redirecting to my 404 page. here is the link of my website please check http://jobguide.australianenglishcenter.com/ – Jaswinder Kaur Oct 09 '15 at 05:35
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/404/$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://jobguide.australianenglishcenter.com/404.php [L] – Jaswinder Kaur Oct 09 '15 at 05:36
Use local relative file path instead of http URL in rewrite rule.. Rewrite rule works locally on your server. – Sumit Pandey Oct 09 '15 at 05:41
what is local relative path? – Jaswinder Kaur Oct 09 '15 at 05:48
Did you figure it out yet? It's like /folder/sub_folder/filename – Sumit Pandey Oct 09 '15 at 06:27
no dear , i had used relative path but still not redirecting to 404.php – Jaswinder Kaur Oct 09 '15 at 06:34
please check your server's redirection rules.. might be you are over-riding somewhere – Sumit Pandey Oct 09 '15 at 10:50

You have to set the rewrite engine on. Then customize a php page to handle the 404 error. Refer the below code

RewriteEngine on
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.example.com/your-404-custom-file-name.php

You can always use the method http_response_code(int code). Here is the method documentation.

You can try this code in 404.php in which you can create your own error page...

<?php header('Location: /directory/page-name/'); ?>

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule \.php$ - [R=404]
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.yoursite.com/404.php

This works for me. I don't use any CMS, and my website in php too.

I think a simple way to add a 404, 505, or other pages in your project just put the simple thing in your .htaccess file which is in the project root folder and paste the simple line

RewriteEngine on
errordocument 404 http://localhost/MVC_Project2/404.php
