Nginx - Customizing 404 page

Question

Nginx PHP  on fastCGI  works great for me  When I enter a path to a PHP file which doesn t exist  instead of getting the default 404 error page  which comes for any invalid  html file   I simply get a  No input file specified     How can I customize this 404 error page

You can setup a custom error page for every location block in your nginx.conf, or a global error page for the site as a whole.

To redirect to a simple 404 not found page for a specific location:

location /my_blog {
    error_page    404 /blog_article_not_found.html;
}

A site wide 404 page:

server {
    listen 80;
    error_page  404  /website_page_not_found.html;
    ...

You can append standard error codes together to have a single page for several types of errors:

location /my_blog {
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /server_error.html
}

To redirect to a totally different server, assuming you had an upstream server named server2 defined in your http section:

upstream server2 {
    server 10.0.0.1:80;
}
server {
    location /my_blog {
        error_page    404 @try_server2;
    }
    location @try_server2 {
        proxy_pass http://server2;
    }

The manual can give you more details, or you can search google for the terms nginx.conf and error_page for real life examples on the web.

Be careful with the syntax  Great Turtle used them interchangeably  but    error page    404    404 html   Will return the 404 html page with a status code of 200  because   has relayed that to this page   error page    404  404 html   Will return the 404 html page with a  the original  404 error code    https   serverfault com questions 295789 nginx-return-correct-headers-with-custom-error-documents

You use the error page property in the nginx config    For example  if you intend to set the 404 error page to  404 html  use  error page 404  404 html    Setting the 500 error page to  500 html is just as easy as   error page 500  500 html

The  error page  parameter makes a redirect  converting the request method to  GET   it is not a custom response page   The easiest solution is       server           root  var www html           location     php               if   -f  document root  fastcgi script name                   return 404                            fastcgi pass   127 0 0 1 9000              include fastcgi params default              fastcgi param  SCRIPT FILENAME   document root  fastcgi script name               By the way  if you want Nginx to process 404 status returned by PHP scripts  you need to add    fastcgi intercept errors  1  on   E g        location     php                                error page  404   404 html              fastcgi intercept errors on

These answers are no longer recommended since try files works faster than if in this context   Simply add try files in your php location block to test if the file exists  otherwise return a 404   location     php       try files  uri  404
