404

[zforrest]

I just want to make a simple 404 page that redirects to the home page after about 5 seconds. And though I have a test document called 404.html, and I've added

ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

to my .htaccess file, I can't seem to bypass the built-in zen cart 404 functionality. Can anyone help me out? Thank you in advance for your time.

Zen Cart has built-in page-not-found handling which by default takes the customer to either the home page or the page_not_found page, which contains a site-map style listing of navigation links.

If you want to alter that behaviour to go to a specific "different" place, try this:

1. Admin->Configuration->My Store->Missing Page Check ... set to page-not-found

2. edit /page_not_found.php and change this:

header("Location: index.php?main_page=page_not_found");

to this:

header("Location: 404.html");

(or whatever alternate place you want it to go to)

I've tried that too, no dice.

I'm using dreamscape's seo urls, 3.0 beta 1. It's the only thing that I can think of that could be making a difference.

Well .... does turning off the SEO mod solve the problem ?
