Can someone point out why the error page is not showing up when using a fake or non existing page?

Hi Fuji

I'd recommend that you use uComponents to handle multilingual 404 handlers.You find it in the packages repository.

See for another technical solution: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/18524-Making-a-class-to-handle-multiple-404-pages

Best of luck.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the response, let me try this.

Hi Fuji,

As Martin says, uComponents has one to handle multi-lingual sites... the MultiSitePageNotFoundHandler.

Couple of prerequisites... you must have a hostname/language set to the root node and that node must have a property with the alias "umbracoPageNotFound" - which contains a nodeId.

Rest of the instructions are over on the uComponents CodePlex website: http://ucomponents.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=MultiSitePageNotFoundHandler

Cheers, Lee.

Hi Lee,

Ive try using Ucomponents but doesnt work. Here is  my config file

I have set my domain and Language on both root node which works well. In document type of my homepage as described i have a content picker with alias  umbracoPageNotFound.

When i type the following which is a fake an non existing page i can get the errorPage to display.

http://domain.com/en/toto.aspx

<NotFoundHandlers>
    <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForAlias" />
    <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForTemplate"/>
         <notFound assembly="uComponents.Core" type="NotFoundHandlers.MultiSitePageNotFoundHandler" />
    <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForProfile"/>
        <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="handle404"/>
</NotFoundHandlers>

Hi Fuji,

Try appending "?umbDebugShowTrace=true" to the URL - see what the trace information says. There should be something useful next to the "notFoundHandler" messages.  If you wouldn't mind posting a snippet from there? (removing any sensitive info first).

Cheers, Lee.

Still not getting much info

http://domain.com/en/toto.aspx?umbDebugShowTrace=true

404 - File or directory not found.

The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Does it make a difference if i have a urlRewriting in my config?

Hi Fuji,

This looks like IIS is still handling your 404 errors and not passing them over to Umbraco to handle.

Take a read of this thread: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/8244-IIS7--404

Ultimately, you'll need to add the following line to your Web.config, under the <system.webServer>:

<httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" />

Cheers, Lee.

Lee ive just set the IIS and this is the output

No umbraco document matches the url 'http://domain.com/en/toto.aspx?umbDebugShowTrace=true'

umbraco tried this to match it using this xpath query'/root/* [@urlName = "en"]/* [@urlName = "toto"]')

This page can be replaced with a custom 404 page by adding the id of the umbraco document to show as 404 page in the /config/umbracoSettings.config file. Just add the id to the '/settings/content/errors/error404' element.

For more information, visit information about custom 404 on the umbraco website.

This page is intentionally left ugly ;-)

This brings me to a error 500 message. I have just set my IIS but can paste the trace info in the RTE.

... and "domain.com" is definitely associated with a node that contains the "umbracoPageNotFound" property? (and has a value for it?)

I'm taking a look at the code (in uComponents), this will only work for associated domain/hostnames ... it's not going to work with sub-folders (it wasn't designed for that).

Try swapping the NotFoundHandler over to the "SearchForPageNotFound" instead.  This one should work for you.  It tries to find the 'nearest' node that has the "umbracoPageNotFound" property.

Cheers, Lee.

Yes i try to output the value of "umbracoPageNotFound" and display the right value 2623

I also changed my 404handlers.config to

<notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForAlias" />
<notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForTemplate"/>
<notFound assembly="uComponents.Core" type="NotFoundHandlers.MultiSitePageNotFoundHandler" />
<notFound assembly="uComponents.Core" type="NotFoundHandlers.SearchForPageNotFound" />
     <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForProfile"/> 
      <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="handle404"/>

Still not working

No umbraco document matches the url 'http://domain.eservices-host.com/en/toto.aspx'

umbraco tried this to match it using this xpath query'/root/* [@urlName = "en"]/* [@urlName = "toto"]')

This page can be replaced with a custom 404 page by adding the id of the umbraco document to show as 404 page in the /config/umbracoSettings.config file. Just add the id to the '/settings/content/errors/error404' element.

For more information, visit information about custom 404 on the umbraco website.

Try rearranging the config to this:

<notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForAlias" />
<notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForTemplate"/>
<notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForProfile"/>
<notFound assembly="uComponents.Core" type="NotFoundHandlers.SearchForPageNotFound" />
<notFound assembly="umbraco" type="handle404"/>

Not sure if that will resolve the issue, but does put them in the "right" order.

Try the "?umbDebugShowTrace=true" again, see what happens this time.

Quick check, are you using uComponents v3.0 (or v2.2 beta 3)?

uComponents V2.2. 

Btw so i keep those settings ? 

  <error404>
                  <errorPage culture="default">2623</errorPage>
                 <errorPage culture="en-US">2623</errorPage>
                 <errorPage culture="fr-FR">2624</errorPage>
              </error404>
              <error500>
                  <errorPage culture="default">2623</errorPage>
                 <errorPage culture="en-US">2623</errorPage>
                 <errorPage culture="fr-FR">2624</errorPage>
         </error500>

Same message when reordering

umbraco tried this to match it using this xpath query'/root/* [@urlName = "en"]/* [@urlName = "toto"]')

Ok i managed to get it working but this time its not picking the culture info.

http://domain.com/en/toto.aspx is working fine an redirecting to the english error.aspx

http://domain.com/fr/toto.aspx for FR is redirecting to the english "error.aspx" instead of "erreur.aspx".

//fuji

Any idea why only the default value is being taken into consideration while the culture infos not?

<errorPage culture="default">2623</errorPage>

Not sure about whether to keep the <error404> settings, I believe they are only used by the handle404 code.

Don't know what else to suggest, difficult to know how you've got your root/homepage nodes set-up for each language.

- Lee

I have the following structure.

Content

*en (root of http://domain.com/en)
-Link 1
--sub link 1
-Link 2  
--sub link 2 

*fr (root of http://domain.com/fr)
-Link 1
--sub link 1
-Link 2  
--sub link 2 

I think i had some issues with the setup of uComponents as well. Perhaps the post is in the bug report section of uComponents.

As i recall it, it was a fairly simple thing that caused all the trouble.

Yes, definitely report bugs for uComponents ... only problem here is that I'd be the one fixing this particular bug and don't have enough info to reproduce the issue :-$

Do you think i should upgrade to v3.0?

v3.0 is essentially v2.2 final/stable (we bumped up the version number as too many people thought the v2.2 beta was a milestone release).

Not sure if the code for the NotFoundHandlers had changed much since the v2.2 beta ... but yes, it's worth a try.

Cheers, Lee.

@Lee

I meant that my post might be in there, not that he should make his own ;-) Cheers!
