Magento 1.8 – Custom 404 Page Not Displaying

404404-pagemagento-1.8

I have a site with Magento installed. It is installed in a subdirectory (http://mysite.com/store) — Everything works properly, except for when I go to a page that should 404 (ex: http://mysite.com/store/dfgsdfg). I would expect this to show the page defined in my Magento Default No-route URL, but instead it is showing the default apache 404 page (Not Found The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server. Apache/2.4.6 (Ubuntu) Server at www.vosslighting.com Port 80)

In my .htaccess file I have (just the pertinent parts):

DirectoryIndex index.php
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

I have the line '#RewriteBase /store/' commented out, but it doesn't seem to help anything when I uncomment it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of where I might need to look to get my custom 404 pages?

I finally figured out what the problem was. In my virtual host, I had ProxyErrorOverride On set. This was causing my proxy to handle 404 headers instead of Magento

Magento – Status 200 for 404 Not Found CMS page

In my experience this is most often caused by poorly written CMS integrations. It's not uncommon for a CMS integration to rewrite the noRoute action to catch when Magento would issue a 404, grab content from a CMS (if available) and then serve it up in the content section of the page.

What goes wrong, however, is when these custom integrations then fail to detect when they also do not have content for the URL in the CMS and indiscriminately send out a 200 response code with either blank content or a 404 content page served from the CMS (but with a 200 response code).

In the case of no content, in this type of integration, the trick is to simply forward the request to the default no route action and/or fall through and let the parent controller method handle the 404 response.

Do you have a CMS integration module of some sort installed? If so, I would suggest isolating it to either prove or rule it out as the cause.

Magento Migration – Fix Admin Panel URL 404 Error

404 issues are quite common when migrating Magento installations between servers. As per this post on SO please see the following answer

Magento Admin 404

You need to go your server directly and do this via SSH/ FTP

You have to delete the following file:

app/etc/use_cache.ser

If you get an error after that like:

Notice: Undefined index: 0 in /srv/www/vhosts/javra.com/htdocs/munchad2/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Mysql4/Config.php on line 92

Then go to your Database Management:

Open PhpMyAdmin
Go to your database
Click SQL
Run the following SQL Query

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;
UPDATE `core_store` SET store_id = 0 WHERE code='admin';
UPDATE `core_store_group` SET group_id = 0 WHERE name='Default';
UPDATE `core_website` SET website_id = 0 WHERE code='admin';
UPDATE `customer_group` SET customer_group_id = 0 WHERE customer_group_code='NOT LOGGED IN';
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=1;

Definitely backup the file & your database prior to running these changes.

Alternately, double check your .htaccess files which are also sometimes the bane of the issue.
