How to setup a 404 error page (Page not found)

Step 1

Login to the CMS.

Step 2

At the Home node, set your Culture and Hostnames — these will be the domains that can access your website, for example, mysite.com. 

Assign culture and hostnames to a website with uSkinned for Umbraco.

Step 3

In the tree menu, go to Global.

Step 4

From the options on the right, select Settings.

Step 5

On the General tab, locate the label Page not found.

Step 6

Click Add, from the slide-out panel, select your Page not found page.

Create Page not found 404 in Umbraco with uSkinned.

Step 7

Save and Publish. 

Step 1

Locate the following file in the root folder of your Umbraco solution.

~/Config/umbracoSettings.config

find the following line of code:

<error404>****</error404>

and enter the ID or GUID of your 404 page. This can be found on the info tab of the content node for your preferred 404 page.

If you are running a multi-lingual website you can set up a different 404 page for the different language cultures used:

<errorPage culture="en-US">****</errorPage>
<errorPage culture="no">****</errorPage>
<errorPage culture="sv">****</errorPage> 

 

404 not displaying? (Step 2)

With IIS 7.5+ you may need to add an additional line into the sites web.config before it will work. Just add this and you'll be good to go:

<system.webServer>
  <httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough"/>
</system.webServer>
