Support
#1

Hi everybody,

I would like to know how to Change the page by defaul when I get a error “404 - file not found” by my page “error404.html”. . . .

I have done the folow;

this tag is added in workspace\myproyec\deploy\tomcat\conf\web.xml:

<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/error404.html</location>
</error-page>

on the hand create the error404.html in the root workspace\myproyec\deploy\tomcat\webapps\app

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>my  page error 404</title>
</head>
<body>
           my html page when get a error 404
</body>
</html>

According to the tomcat documentation, it should open my page error404.html when I get a error 404 but unfortunately when I get this error it doesn´t redirects to my page error404.html. . . . . please somebody can tell me if I have wronged or how I can do it???

thank a lot!!!

Hi,

You need to place the error404.html file in the ROOT directory.

For your convenience take a look at the demo project 404page.zip (73.7 KB). Check the following files:

  • deploy/tomcat/conf/web.xml
  • deploy/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/error404.html

You’re right, the archive doesn’t contain the tomcat directory. Sorry about that. Simply add the ROOT directory within webapps and add error404.html within it.
