Redirection of 404 errors

Hello,
What I would ultimately like to do is to provide a "pretty" 404 error page instead of showing the standard IE 404 error page. Is there some option within the iWS 6.0 interface to do something like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can refer to the Customizing Error Responses section of the Administrator's Guide at http://docs.sun.com/source/816-5691-10/escontnt.htm#1001145 or the send-error documentation in the NSAPI Programmer's Guide at http://docs.sun.com/source/816-5686-10/03_direc.htm#20007

Redirect HTTP 404 Error

Hi,
Is there anyone knows how to redirect HTTP 404 Error on OAS 4? For example, if the requested file doesnt exist, I have to redirect the request to a default page. Thanks for any help.

<i>So the user actually sees a 404 - page not found error?</i><p>
Yes, using a static session id in the apache rewrite rule causes the user to get a HTTP 404 - Page cannot be found error.
Since owa_util.redirect_url is called directly after owa_cookie.send, the owa_util.redirect_url is using just the apex relative url, f?p=blahblahblah, which causes all the Host and DAD information (in our case, infotrek.er.usgs.gov/pls/apex/ to be dropped from the Location: header and sends the user to HOST/f?p=blah instead of HOST/DAD/f?p=blah, which causes the http 404 error.
I did the test you asked:
Header when relative URL is used:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 13:09:21 GMT
Server: Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.3.0.0 Oracle-HTTP-Server
Location: f?p=190:1:2088586269224413
X-DB-Content-length: 0
Set-Cookie: WWV_PUBLIC_SESSION_TEST=99999999
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8Header when absolute URL is used:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 13:09:49 GMT
Server: Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.3.0.0 Oracle-HTTP-Server
Location: http://infotrek.er.usgs.gov/pls/apex/f?p=190:1:2088586269224413
X-DB-Content-length: 0
Set-Cookie: WWV_PUBLIC_SESSION_TEST=99999999
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8The second condition is what we need to have happen, and we don't know if we can tinker with anything in apache, Apex, or the owa_util.redirect_url to make it happen. I can't use this fix within any application because <i>the user doesn't get that far</i>. He/she never makes it to the app--they get a Page Cannot be Found error and thinks our site is down.

SJSWS7 - Redirect on 404

Am trying to use expressions in SJSWS7 to redirect any 404 errors to another location on my site. The desired result is no 404 status codes being returned to the client.
I've added the following to the Virtual Server obj.conf, but it doesn't seem to work. Is the syntax and/or location of the expression incorrect?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
<Object name="default">
AuthTrans fn="match-browser" browser="*MSIE*" ssl-unclean-shutdown="true"
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/mc-icons" dir="C:/Program Files/Sun/WebServer7/lib/icons" name="es-internal"
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/" dir="C:/Program Files/Sun/WebServer7/https-hostname.domain.com/docs"
*<If $code = "404">*
NameTrans fn="rewrite" path="/index.html"
*</If>*
PathCheck fn="uri-clean"
PathCheck fn="check-acl" acl="default"
PathCheck fn="find-pathinfo"
PathCheck fn="find-index" index-names="index.html,home.html,index.jsp"
ObjectType fn="type-by-extension"
ObjectType fn="force-type" type="text/plain"
Service method="(GET|HEAD)" type="magnus-internal/directory" fn="index-common"
Service method="(GET|HEAD|POST)" type="*~magnus-internal/*" fn="send-file"
Service method="TRACE" fn="service-trace"
AddLog fn="flex-log"
</Object>

NameTrans -- name translation -- occurs before the server has discovered the path doesn't exist, so checking for $code = "404" won't do anything useful. Instead, you probably want the following:
Error code="404" fn="restart" uri="/index.html"

Without any prompt from me, Firefox is continually redirecting itself and displaying a 404 Error message. What can I do to correct this?

Upon laptop start-up, with Firefox as my web browser, I generally visit news sites beginning with with CNN. Aside from updating Adobe Acrobat Reader to the X version, I have not added anything to my laptop (A Sony Vaio A/W series 64 bit operating with Windows 7) recently, but I am continuously being redirected via the 404 error message without clicking or while reading an article. Firefox has also been crashing daily despite efforts to keep the cache clean and a minimum of programs running during use. I use Norton 360 for antivirus protection and update daily and have not found any bugs to suggest adware or malware. I do have Chrome loaded as a secondary browser, but Firefox has been my browser of choice until recently. Help.

Redirecting 404 errors

In the process of setting up a new server, we're trying to keep from having
to copy over 6+ year old stale files to the new machine.
I've been given the go ahead, provided that I can redirect 404 errors to the
old machine, and then after a while, we'll just kill the old machine.
Unfortunately, I've run into a bit of a headache --
It seems that iPlanet 4.1SP7 won't let me re-write the 'Status' line in an
error handler. I know this was possible under Netscape 3.0k, (and
yesterday, after putting in a ticket with tech support, I verified that I
wasn't crazy) :
andrew% telnet [old_server] 80
Trying 128.164.127.251...
Connected to [old_server].

Location: http://[old_server]/~oneiros/blah
Content-type: text/html
Content-length: 5496
Connection: close
The two error handlers are identical, except for the machine they redirect
to.
After getting the call back from tech support, I really don't think the
person I spoke to understood what I was trying to do. [and well, I didn't
have the working example to show him].
Although I could do this using meta tags for redirection, that's not going
to work for images, and we have too many users who have used absolute URLS.
Does anyone out there know if there's some sort of work around for this
problem? (iWS 6 may be an alternative if absolutely necessary, but we're
reluctant to switch to a recently released version due to some history with
other applications).

Redirect HTTP 404, 401 errors to custom html pages ?

Does anyone know how to set up Weblogic 6.1 to TRAP and REDIRECT http 404, 401 etc error messages to custom predefined friendly html pages on the server ?? Here, WL takes http requests directly and outputs the results directly back to the browsers (not going through a proxy server like IPlanet or other web servers).
So how do I trap HTTP error messages in WL and redirects them to my own custom error pages ??
Help!

Hi Aswin,
Vintela libraries changed in SP3. Usually a 404 error means:
- Typo in any of the xml tags (you can check opening it in IE)
- Typo in the SPN (cannot be found). However, you mention seeing in stdout.log "credentials obtained" so it looks that's fine
- If you are using keytab, comment those lines in web.xml and use the password in Tomcat > Java
If nothing mentioned above solve the issue, I will suggest you to enable debug in Tomcat and post here the stdout.log

Not able to run my first Servlet..... 404 error!!!

Hi,
I am new to Java.
I am trying to create a small servlet application. I am using Tomcat 5.5 server and eclipse for this.
I have first writtern a HTML form which on submission is redirected to a servlet that displays the information submitted. but i am not able to evn open the html file through browser, i am getting 404 error.
My html codes and Servlet codes are inside the htmlform package...
When i type http://localhost:8080/htmlform/form.html i am gettig 404 error... Also let me know if any thing is wrong with the codes...
Here is my code...
form.html
<html>
<head>
<title> This is a HTML page </title>
</head>
<body>
<p><h3>This page displays a submission form</h3></p>
<form method="GET" action="/htmlform/LoginServlet">

pw.println("<body><h2>If you can see this page then your form is cleanly processed</h2><br>");

</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Thanks in advance

you might have other problems, but I think the action attribute in your HTML form is incorrect.
You have:
<form method="GET" action="/htmlform/LoginServlet">Your web.xml says:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/login</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>So I think you should change the action like this:
<form method="GET" action="/htmlform/login">Your servlet's not in a package, and you might not be deploying it correctly (god forbid you added this to /ROOT), but try that first.

How can I throw a hard 404 error to apache when a JSP is not found.

How can I throw a hard 404 error to apache when a JSP is not found.

          First thought that comes to mind is to return HTML that tells the browser
          redirect to a nonexistent file under Apache. You can't tell Apache to
          throw a 404 unless you're in a mod. Maybe something they could add to the
          proxy, but until then, I think a redirection in the response HTML is your
          only option.

BizTalk published WCF service throwing HTTP 404 error using ISA reverse proxy settings

I have published my schemas as a WCF service from BizTalk 2010 "Publish WCF Service" wizard. I used Wcf-basicHTTP adapter in receive port. I am able to run the service successfully on localhost IIS and I tested my biztalk solution by sending request using SOAP UI and got response successfully.... Now: Actually, I need to give this service endpoint to my vendor who will send request from outside my company's network i.e. internet. In my infrastrucrue BizTalk is behind the firewall so, we setup a REVERSE proxy server at DMZ layer and it is configured properly. I have tested a simple WCF service by replacing the localhost with Proxy server configured address <DNSName> and it worked absolutely fine. But when I change localhost in my BizTalk schema based published WCF service it is not working and I am getting following error. Really strugling to get it resolved. I wasted a whole 3 days....very upset. Please help me out by giving the detailed step solution. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly. Requested URL: /BizTalkServiceInstance/MyService.svc I am surprized why other c# code based WCF services are working fine with reverse proxy settings. Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found.Is there any special things to consider Biztalk exposed wcf servcie over ssl in IIS cluster with ISA

Hi Singam :)
First I would start by browsing any other files (files other than the one from WCF) just to ensure that the reverse-proxy’s redirection rules are set correctly. If you get the same 404 error when you try to access other service/files “through reverse-proxy”,
then it’s an issue in the redirection rule(s) in reverse-proxy.
If others are fine i.e. no issue in reverse-proxy setup as such, then try the following for WCF service's web.config file. I have seen this issue in WCF service (not just BizTalk’s artifacts exposed as service in reverse-proxy). Add serviceHostingEnvironment
config as show with in serviceModel section.
<system.serviceModel>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>

I have the same problem and it does not have to do with firefox. Do you have any idea how to fix it through?

Google search, youtube, facebook, and yahoo all giving 404 errors 9-9-13

Today I was having issues with my internet. After calling my provider (Time Warner Cable) and doing the proper troubleshooting it has boiled down to it is a problem with Firefox.
Whenever I load Firefox, I have it set so the same tabs open each time. Google, Facebook, Youtube, and Yahoo. Normally they would load and I would start my business or what-have-you, but today all are giving 404 errors. I have refresh the page it does not resolve the issue or if I manually type in the page address in, it too, does not load. Facebook will load properly once I type in the website in the bar and load it that way. If I open a new tab and try these websites (Google, Youtube, Yahoo, and Facebook) they all give me the 404 error, but if I click on the Facebook logo in the left hand corner of the page, it will load my news feed. CNN, TWC, and Gmail all load fine and I am able to use the services. Another thing I tried was disconnecting manually from my internet and then reconnecting. I changed my SSI and reset the modem several times still to no avail. If I load Google using my phone, it comes up fine, same as all the other sites listed. I restarted my computer twice (each after both resets of my modem) and I still have this problem. Now the "funny" thing now is that if I load these pages in Internet Explorer, they all load without any 404 errors. I have not tried clearing my cache or history today, and I checked the Firefox website to make sure I have the current version (I normally ALWAYS update my Firefox when it is requested). I don't want to have to uninstall Firefox I JUST got all my bookmarks back from the last uninstall I had to do (accidentally loaded an unwanted toolbar, yuck!) and also this was working fine yesterday and early this morning (2-3am central time)
ANY information regarding this issue will be welcome! Thanks!

The 404 or Not Found error message is a HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server, but the server could not find what was requested. How To Fix the 404 Not Found Error
Retry the web page by pressing F5, clicking the refresh/reload button, or trying the URL from the address bar again.
The 404 Not Found error might appear for several reasons even though no real issue exists, so sometimes a simple refresh will often load the page you were looking for.
Check for errors in the URL. Often times the 404 Not Found error appears because the URL was typed wrong or the link that was clicked on points to the wrong URL.
Move up one directory level at a time in the URL until you find something.
For example, if www.web.com/a/b/c.htm gave you the 404 Not Found error, move up to www.web.com/a/b/. If you get nothing here (or an error), move up to www.web.com/a/. This should lead you toward what you're looking for or at least confirm that it's no longer available.
Tip: If you have moved all the way up to the website's homepage, try to run a search for the information you're looking for. If the site doesn't have a search function, try navigating to the page you want using category links to dig deeper into the site.
Search for the page at a popular search engine. It's possible that you simply have the entirely wrong URL in which case a quick Google or Bing search should get you where you want to go.
If you do find the page you were after, update your bookmark or favorite to avoid the HTTP 404 error in the future.
Clear your browser's cache if you have any indication that the 404 Not Found message might just be yours. For example, if you can reach the URL from your phone but not from your tablet, clearing the cache on your tablet's browser might help.
You might also consider clearing your browser's cookies, or at least the one(s) involved with the website in question, if clearing the cache didn't work.
Change the DNS servers used by your computer but usually only if an entire website is giving you a 404 error, especially if the website is available to those on other networks (e.g. your mobile phone network or a friend in another city).
404's on an entire website isn't particularly common unless your ISP or government filters/censors websites. No matter the reason, if it does happen, giving another set of DNS servers a try is a good step to take. See my Public DNS Servers List for some alternatives.
Finally, if all else fails, contact the website directly. If they've removed the page you're after then the 404 error is completely legitimate and they should be able to tell you that. If they've moved the page, and are generating 404's instead of redirecting visitors to the new page, they might be very happy to hear from you.
A WHOIS search, using the site's domain name (e.g. weather.com) as your search term, should give you some contact information.
If the WHOIS search isn't helpful, know that many sites can be reached via email at [email protected], replacing website.com with the real website name. Contacting a site via one of their social networking profiles is another good idea.

My homepage, cnn, loads but is then redireted to yahoo search and I get a 404 error message

I downloaded 4.0 at work and at home. home works fine. at work when I open Foxfire, cnn is my homepage. cnn loads, but is redirected to yahoo search. I don't know what it is searching for; I get a 404 error message. I also have a Yahoo menu button between Bookmarks and Tools. I have uninstalled 4.0 and reinstalled. I have reinstalled 3.? but it continues to happen. How can i get rid of this Yahoo problem? I really don't want to go back to Explorer and I refuse to go to Foxnews.

I'm glad I was able to help. I kind of wish mine hadn't worked because I ended up being one of the "lucky" individuals where my phone didn't restore from the backup and I lost all of my contacts, calendar appts, notes, etc. It took me an extra 2 hrs last night to rebuild the next month worth of appts and try to rebuild my contact list from my yahoo contacts. Oh well. I will be getting an android at my next upgrade. I'm tired of all of the BS that comes with owning an iPhone.

Getting 404 error when try to access website

Hello...I have an iweb created website hosted at GoDaddy. Yesterday I did major changes on the site and uploaded it. If I use the bookmark I have established I can access the site just fine, and it is the current site. if i type in the url I get a 404 error.
The bookmark is for http://www.galleryt.org/ and it comes up as http://www.galleryt.org/Home.html and everything looks good
if i type the url www.galleryt.org I am directed to http://galleryt.org/GalleryT/home.html and I get the 404, site can't be found error.....it is that GalleryT after the /org that is causing the problem.
When I talked to my hosting company they told me they couldn't help me troubleshoot my site but I had a redirect in my index file I needed to fix...unfortunately I really don't know what that means and I don't know how to fix it....I suspect the tech at the hosting service knows what that means but he wouldn't explain it to me...
So can someone explain to me what I need to do to fix this.
Thanks

I reloaded the site and now it is correct. I don't know what was wrong, what I did wrong, but it is fixed now

404 error service not found for irj/portal ??

Hello,
I am facing a problem in our productive system. It is a 2-node cluster 7.01 with hostnames v000011360 and v000012360.
We are using a web dispatcher for load balancing and redirecting.
When we try to access the portal through the web dispatcher's url, if the redirection is done to the first node (11360), portal logon screen appears and everything is ok. But if the redirection is to the 2nd Node, Service cannot be reached error occurs!
The user has to refresh the page several times, until the web dispatcher redirects to the 1st Node. A000010360 is the virtual ip of the cluster.
The complete error message is this:
Service cannot be reached
What has happened?
URL http://a000010360.central.nbg.gr/irj/portal call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available.
Note
The termination occurred in system MBP with error code 404 and for the reason Not found.
The selected virtual host was 0 .
What can I do?
Please select a valid URL.
If you do not yet have a user ID, contact your system administrator.
ErrorCode:ICF-NF-http-c:000-u:SAPSYS-l:E-i:V000012360_MBP_30-v:0-s:404-r:Notfound
HTTP 404 - Not found
Your SAP Internet Communication Framework Team
Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Mark,
Yes there is a java server running in the second node!
Also, if the 2nd Node url is written directly, logon screen appears and everything works fine.
However, this should be done automatically through the web dispatcher (or the message server) load balancing.
The direct url for 1st Node is http://v000011360:53000/irj and for the 2nd Node http://v000012360:53000/irj.
Being though a cluster setup we use the virtual url http://a000010360:53000/irj, which should direct to one of the 2 nodes through the web dispatcher. If it directs to the 1st Node, everything is ok, but to the 2nd, 404 error not found occurs.
Also if server0 in 1st node fails for any reason, we cannot access the portal whatsoever! Shouldn't the dispatcher redirect to the 2nd node which is up and running? Isn't that the purpose of having a cluster system?
Thank you for your time,
GS.
