joemama718 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Does anyone have an explanation for this? I use a php file (index.php) for the index of my site, and I've been trying to set up a custom 404 page. What I find, however (and I've seen this before too) is that when I go to a page that does not exist, it seems to just show my index page instead. To see this, go to http://www.mildlyhotpeppers.com/. And now go to http://www.mildlyhotpeppers.com/whateveryouwanthere. It still shows my index page. Then go to http://www.mildlyhotpeppers.com/madeupfolder/anything/. It still shows my index page. (In the last two, the index page gets destroyed, however, because the relative image and stylesheet links are not correct.) Does anyone have an idea why this happens?

I know that the 404 error page has some effect on the index page, so try deleting the 404 file and just stick with the standard one for now.

karath Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 =/ tried that...didn't work. thanks for the reply though. Hmm... my only best recommendation is that to push ahead, because a bad URL redirecting to your index page isn't a bad idea you understand? Try like, making a blank index page for people that... oh forget it. Too complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
