Hi there,

I’m trying to get a custom 404 error page to work, but not having any luck.

I’m using ISAPI rewrite to handle my Friendly URLs, and am on a IIS 6 server.

In IIS, I’ve got the 404 page directed to /index.php, and in MODx I’ve got the error page set to go to the id of the error page I’ve made in MODx.

For some reason, when the wrong URL is typed in, I just get a blank page.

Any ideas on how to get this working?

Thanks

Hi,

What happens when you unset the 404 error page in IIS and just set it to default?

Could you also paste your ISAPI Rewrite rule for me to see as well?

Thanks Aaron

Hi Aaron,

When I set it to the default 404, I get the default 404 showing. I’ve also tried setting the 404 (in IIS) to me error page (ie. /error.html) but this results in a blank page too.

ISAPI rewrite is as follows:

# Helicon ISAPI_Rewrite configuration file
# Version 3.1.0.69

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCompatibility2 On
RepeatLimit 32
RewriteBase

#  Block external access to the httpd.ini and httpd.parse.errors files
RewriteRule ^/httpd(?:\.ini|\.parse\.errors).*$ / [NC,F,O]
#  Block external access to the Helper ISAPI Extension
RewriteRule ^.*\.isrwhlp$ / [NC,F,O]

RewriteRule ^/(?!(?:manager|assets)/)(.*)\.html(?:\?(.*))?$ /index.php?q=$1?2&$2: [NC,L,U]

Thanks

Turns out that I’m just behind a proxy server here at work, so thats why it wasn’t working for me. Works everywhere else!

Thanks to Aaron at onesmarthost.co.uk for helping me realise this!
