Update to the 404 problem

November 7th, 2008

Between support calls and various other projects and fires for the day, I have come close to what I feel is going to be a very useful 404 page.  Borrowing the right wording from Xavier and a similar layout - it just feels elegant.  It will do until the Web Advisory Committee has a chance to review it.

MSU Custom 404 page

I am very happy with the look and functionality of the page. One issue remains with the page, and this may be just when it is being called through an .htaccess file:

ErrorDocument 404 /404.php

Oh, the plans I have for this page. Oh, the plans. 

Interestingly, the above code works very well. But the below code doesn’t. And I am sure there is a good reason though it escapes me at this time.

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.yourdomain.edu/404.php
