Hi Duncan,

Thanks for the advice. I also saw this post, maybe I should try this solution.

I already tried using the Multisite Page Not Found handler in uComponents, but this isn't working either.

greetings,

Anthony

Hi Duncan,

In that post on SO, Sebastiaan replies that the <errorPage> node should be changed to <error404> so I changed my umbracoSettings.config to:

<errors>

            <!-- the id of the page that should be shown if the page is not found -->

            <error404 culture="nl-BE">1176</error404>

            <error404 culture="fr-BE">1177</error404>

            <!--<error404>1</error404>-->            

        </errors>

but it still doesn't work .... sigh

Hi Anthony,

Could be wrong but I read that as he needed to change the errorPage to error404 in his custom handler for naming convetioning. The custom code is still what he used. If you give it a go let me know. Could be working on a multilingual next week.

Cheers,

Duncan

Hi Duncan,

I would love to try this custom handler class, but I'm not that familiar with custom handlers. Where exactly should I put this code in my webfolder, or do I need to create a lokal VS Solution, then compile the class and put in the /bin folder of my live website?

Thanks for the advice,

Anthony

Anthony,

Sorry for the delay. Everything you should need can be found in these two wiki pages.

http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/how-to-implement-your-own-404-handler

http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/files-and-folders/files-in-the-config-folder/404handlersconfig

Short answer. You can put it anywhere in your own solution as long as you have your dll in the /bin folder and you reference it in 404handlers.config

e.g.

<notFoundassembly="MyLibrary"namespace="MyLibrary.Handlers"type="MyNotFoundHandler"/>

It's been a few months since I've done this myself but it sound about right.

Hi Duncan,

Thanks for the information.

Still no white smoke I'm afraid.

I created a new web application project (Custom404Handler) in VS 2010, created a class (Custom404) and copied the code for a custom 404 handler from Stack Overflow.

I referenced the necessary dll (interfaces.dll, businesslogic.dll, umbraco.dll) and compiled the class without any issues.

Then I put the compiled custom404handler.dll in the /bin folder of my live site.

I put this line in my 404handlers.config

and I configured my umbracoSettings.config like this:

 <errors>

            <!-- the id of the page that should be shown if the page is not found -->

            <error404 culture="nl-BE">1176</error404>

            <error404 culture="fr-BE">1177</error404>

            <!--<error404>1</error404>-->            

        </errors>

but alas, I'm still getting the default IIS 404 error page.

greetings,

Anthony

If you copied the code directly you should try <errorPage culture... instead of <error404>. I think Sebastiaans note was to the guy who wrote the code to change it for consistencies sake.

yes!! it works. I followed your last suggestion, and I also changed this line in the 404handlers.config file:

 <notFound assembly="Projectlibrary" type="Custom404Handler"/>

to

 <notFound assembly="Custom404Handler" type="Custom404"/>

following this format:

 <notFound assembly="name-of-dll" type="name--of-custom404-class"/>

Thanks for hanging on Duncan, and I hope this solution will work for your multilangual project too.

greetings,

Anthony
