a 404 page with link to the homepage and also a link to support pages
where they might tell you of the problem.
Yes, I agree, I was just trying to make my example clear. I agree,
that a custom-written "page not found" is better than a redirect to
home.
but this isn't having any effect for me. Can someone suggest how to
None at all? (ie: you still get the simple/default 404 message) Or
does it
show the homepage but with the same URL as before? These are internal
redirects, so they should show the contents of index.adp, but the URL
doesn't change; the server does NOT send a 301/302 redirect to the
browser.
No effect at all, I don't get the main page, I just get the generic
404 error. I don't know if there's a higher debug level, or way to
dump the config to screen, or some other debugging technique...
