I need to include a link to my custom 404 message in my .htaccess file. What would this url look like to get to the CMSMS custom 400 error message?

Hello,
if you require this in your action script, you can just use
Code: Select all
header('Location:/index.php?page=notfound');
Assumed you have no page with alias 'notfound' you will be redirected to the CMSMS Custom 404 Error page.

Hello,
or rather than finding a non existing URL to redirect to to be redirected to an error page (not enough KISS to my feeling), you could adjust the scope of your existing err404 settings. I mean something like this in httpd.conf or .htaccess :
Code: Select all
#the rewrite conds and rules about the /cmsms/ installation
#same as sample .htaccess
#that way, CMSms should catch 404 within its rewritten URL scope
#then only, the non CMSms scoped err 404 statement
<Directory> or <DirectoryMatch> or <Location> or <LocationMatch> /only/outside/of/cmsms*
ErrorDocument 404 /some/path/to/404.html
</Directory> or </DirectoryMatch> or </Location> or </LocationMatch>
Sample httpd.confS tend to have a global scope (/) 404 setting and you (and others) want :
-no setting for /cmsms...
-in webserver setting for /else...
Hope this helps, I think I'm not easy to read tonight

Not sure if you know it - CMSms has a built in possibility to set your own 404 message (admin panel, site admin > global settings) so you dont need htaccess for that.

Hello Pierre,
the question was how to redirect to CMSMS 404 custom error page. For your solution I need to know the URL of this page that I can place in .htaccess or httpd.conf. I was not able to figure out the URL and therefore I use the trick with non-existing alias.

It will not catch the requests which do not include index.php in it. If you try to call something like
http://yourcmssite/badurl.php you will not get the custom 404 error of CMS Made Simple but the error site of your server.
