As the question implies:
I've created a new errors theme
in /error/custom/
and edited the layout.xml
to show the new error pages but I don't know how to test them??
Does anyone know how to force an error or preview the error pages?
By this I mean its easy to force a 404 error just visit www.yourdomain.com/ajdkts.html and it will produce a 404 error.
But how would I force a 500 error or a 503 error? So that I can see that I can preview my changes.
Best Answer
Inside of the
errors
directory are a few files. One is503.php
and the other is404.php
. Just point your browser there and it will render those pages:http:// magento.localdev/errors/503.php
http:// magento.localdev/errors/404.php
To see what a production error would show use
report.php
:http:// magento.localdev/errors/report.php
