Re: Custom File Not Found 404 not being reached.
I think I discovered the root problem finally but still need some advice on
what to do next (due to my limited amount of knowledge on almost everything!).
On the DNS Server (I have never seen this), the address www.richardsite.org
is directly pointing to the CMS web servers, "live-server-cms".
So, when I request the website, www.richardsite.org, it is actually calling
up the "live-server-cms" - the CMS on that server is then looking up the
channel "richardsite" which of course is then able to load with the correct
site.
It seems to fail on error page handling 404 because
www.richardsite.org represents "live-server-cms" server and NOT the actual
sub-directory hence the reason why:
www.richardsite.org/nonexistant ------ fails as the "Default Website 404" is
brought up.
www.richardsite.org/richardsite/nonexistant --- works as this is withing the
actual subdirectory.
My question is now, does anyone know if its possible to configure the DNS to
point to the subdirectory instead of just a server?
Also, is an alternative way around this is to create a Default Web Site 404
which handles appropriate handling to a more correct 404 Error page?
Many thanks

Re: Custom File Not Found 404 not being reached.
Hi Richi,
no this is not possible.
But you can configure the 404 page on the root of the website rather than
the subdirectory.
That should address your issue.
Cheers,
Stefan

Re: Custom File Not Found 404 not being reached.
Hi Stefan,
Thanks for all your help.
In that case, I am going to create a page for the Default Website that
examines the requested URL and redirect respectively - this is because I have
a number of different websites that are branded in different ways under the
"Defaul Web Site".
:(
