I am having some trouble setting up multiple 404 pages on a site with 6 different languages. I have done this before without having any problems, but this solution must differ from that since the setup is virtually identical, the only thing that differs is this <add key="umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath" value="false" /> which is set to false on the site I am having problems with.
Here is what I have done so far. In the umbraco.settings file I have added this:
As far as i know this should be enough for it to work.
In my local dev setup I have added to sites to the host file like this: site.dk.local, site.en.local etc. In Umbraco I have set these hostnames on each individual site along with the culture. So the cultures should also be set (and are different on every site).
I found some other posts that suggested that I added <httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" /> to the web.config, but that did not solve anything. No matter what I get the standard error page.
Can anyone see what I am missing? Any help will be much appreciated.
I thought about that aswell, however I read somewhere that this approach only works if every site has different hostnames which is not the case on this site where its a combination of different hostnames and site.local/en/, site.local/fr/ - which is why I have set umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath to false.
1) Check the order / contents of the /config/404handlers.config file to ensure that the correct handler is getting the 404 errors to process.
2) I'm not sure that the nesting in your /config/umbracoSettings.config is correct:
<errors> <!-- the id of the page that should be shown if the page is not found --> <!-- <errorPage culture="default">1</errorPage>--> <!-- <errorPage culture="en-US">200</errorPage>--> <error404>1</error404> </errors>

Hi Thor,
Which version of Umbraco are you running?
-A-
Hi Anders,
I'm running 4.7.1.1
Thor,
Can I suggest an alternative approach, what about using the uComponents Multi-site Page Not Found?

You won't need to hard code node Id's in a config file that way either.

Hi Matthew,
Thank you for your reply.
I thought about that aswell, however I read somewhere that this approach only works if every site has different hostnames which is not the case on this site where its a combination of different hostnames and site.local/en/, site.local/fr/ - which is why I have set umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath to false.

Hi Thor,
In that case two things to check:
1) Check the order / contents of the /config/404handlers.config file to ensure that the correct handler is getting the 404 errors to process.
2) I'm not sure that the nesting in your /config/umbracoSettings.config is correct:
Hope that helps,
Matt
Hi Matthew,
I tried that aswell, but nesting that way only works if you have 1 site, not multiple.
/Thor
So you've tried the <errorPage culture=... nodes directly under the <errors> node without the <error404> in between?
Yep i tried that aswell, still no luck.

Thor, have you found a solution? I'm having the same problem, and no idea why it happens so.
is working on a reply...
