Talk:404'd

From Homestar Runner Wiki

I kind of figured I should just replace this page's text with the one I wrote.. I found this one after I did 404. Glad you liked it though :) --AndrewNeo 18:33, 5 Oct 2004 (MST)

Yeah, your page was so much better. Thanks for making it. --Kilroy 20:24, 5 Oct 2004 (MST)

Not existant?

• It appears as if they aren't using the 404'd page anymore. Just a plain ol' internet explorer 404 page. Either my computer is screwed up, or we should mention this...TK600 00:28, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Your computer is screwed up. →FireBird

I don't think so, I'm using firefox and I'm getting the stock 404 error page, but I can still access the customized 404 page. Does anyone still get the customized 404 for a broken file name? ---Euphoric

It would seem this page is not being accessed for 404 errors. I've replicated the problem. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  00:51, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I have made an edit to the page. Note - I have seen it working since May, so i used today as the date of noticing this. hopefully it's a temporary thing. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  00:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not getting the 404'd page either. For the record, I use Firefox.--Jnelson09 01:33, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

It's working again, like, two weeks later.--Jnelson09 16:33, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

How Is It Done?

How do you make a specail 404 page for every page that doesn't exist? TotalSpaceshipGirl3

It's a setting on their web server. Each time the server returns a 404 error, it redirects the browser to the 404'd page that TBC have specified. Most web servers have this capability. — It's dot com 18:10, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Oh, I don't suppose that'll work on hosting services? TotalSpaceshipGirl3

It might. Detailed instructions can be found at HTML Goodies, the site that first taught me html one tag at a time in the 90s. —AbdiViklas 18:42, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

We do the same thing here on the Wiki. See an example. -- Tom 18:46, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

It's done by editing a file named 404.shtml if you don't want to go through a link to HTMLgoodies. Not all hosts all you to make error pages though. --205.213.123.69 16:54, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
