flask python add 404 page

Question

I want to add custom 404 page.

I have this code:

#404 page
@app.errorhandler(404)
def page_not_found(e):
    return render_template('/404.html'), 404

But It doesn't work I still get

2017-10-10 09:24:04,983: File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/flask/templating.py", line 61, in get_source 2017-10-10 09:24:04,983: raise TemplateNotFound(template)

UPD: I HAVE 404.html file in my templates folder!

it can't find the template file, it doesn't have anything to do with 404 error. that error come's up when you have no view. — senaps, Oct 10 '17 at 09:29
`render_template` takes files from the `template/` directory. Create a template directory and place your file in it or do it in a way where you can give a full file path. — Vj-, Oct 10 '17 at 09:35

its like the template cannot be found

@app.errorhandler(404)
def page_not_found(e):
  return render_template('path_folder/404.html'), 404

It looks like the template is not where you expect to find it.

Can you try to put in /static and read it from there?

@app.errorhandler(404)
def page_not_found(e):
    return send_from_directory("static", "404.html"), 404
