Apache server status codes - apache

Is there a way, on apache server, to make a specified page, to send code 404 in browser?
I work on an application, where if you tap a url that is not recognised, the application sends code 302, and makes a redirect instead of a page error.html who send code 200 which is normal because is a page who exist.
I need to modify the code for page error.html in 404 from httpd.conf.
Can you help me please?
I've tried with ErrorDocument 404 /error, but the application does not send 404, it sends 302. I need to rewrite this 302 in 404.

create an error page 404.html on the httpd DocumentRoot.
Add ErrorDocument 404 /404.html in httpd.conf.
Restart Apache and access a page that does not exist.

How to show custom 404 error page when using `AllowEncodedSlashes On`

I recently came across the AllowEncodedSlashes Apache directive:
https://intranet.csc.liv.ac.uk/manual/mod/core.html#AllowEncodedSlashes
If I hit a URL like this: www.domain.com/my/page/%2F/etcetera, Apache shows its default 404 error page:
However, I would like to return a custom 404 error page but how can I do it within my .htaccess? This doesn't work:
ErrorDocument 404 /entrypoint.php
I know I can do it if I have access to the server's httpd.conf configuration file (I tested locally). But what if I do not have access to the configuration on a remote site? Is there a way?
Thank you for the attention.

How to keep URI in the browser using ErrorDocument in .htaccess?

I have a simple 404 error redirect in the .htaccess to my script like this:
ErrorDocument 404 https://example.com/error.pl?q=404
But on the redirect the address is changed in the address bar of the browser to this https://example.com/error.pl?q=404 from the wrong address (from which the redirect is performed).
How to keep the initial address in the browser address bar while redirecting to the custom error page?
Your kind help is highly appreciated!
Use link without domain name:
ErrorDocument 404 /error.pl?q=404
Note that when you specify an ErrorDocument that points to a remote
URL (ie. anything with a method such as http in front of it), Apache
HTTP Server will send a redirect to the client to tell it where to
find the document, even if the document ends up being on the same
server. This has several implications, the most important being that
the client will not receive the original error status code, but
instead will receive a redirect status code. This in turn can confuse
web robots and other clients which try to determine if a URL is valid
using the status code.

Redirect to external site on 500 error with .htaccess

I am working on a website (scratchyone.com). I need to have my .htaccess redirect to an external page
http://scratchywon.github.io/scratchyone.com/errors/500.html
on a 500 error. I am forcing a 500 with php.
http://scratchyone.com/500/
Here is my current code:
ErrorDocument 500 http://scratchywon.github.io/scratchyone.com/errors/500.html
EDIT: ErrorDocument 404 http://scratchywon.github.io/scratchyone.com/errors/500.html works
Now that I am using php to send the 500 error, the page doesn't display. It just displays the browser's default "500: Could not display"
Internal error in .htaccess not relay custom ErrorDocument (!) and simulate 500 error via PHP is not quite possible - when your script run it's too late - error document redirection is handled by apache mod_core (!) and PHP only send status.
So I think you can forget about PHP 500-simulation.
Try to make a directory next to main .htaccess and inside make faulty .htaccess
Or maybe this will be helpful for you:

Section about 500 provide information how to simulate this error via bad proxy.

Redirect via htacces to error pages (not found & Internal Server error)

can I vía .htaccess redirect when
Users finds an Internal Server Error
A not found page
Is that posible? if so, can someone help me with the rewrite rules?
edit
trying
ErrorDocument 500 /oohps.php
ErrorDocument 404 /where.php
and adding them at domain.com/oops.php and domain.com/where.php but still not loaded
Why not just use custom error responses via ErrorDocument?
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/internal-server-error.html
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/not-found.html
It is useful I am able to redirect to index page on 404 error(page not found) by modifying "ErrorDocument" in /etc/apache2/conf.d/localized-error-pages file.
Thanks.....

.htaccess forcing error pages on SSL

I have the following piece of code in my .htaccess file to force redirecting to custom error pages:
ErrorDocument 404 /ErrorPages/404.php
ErrorDocument 403 /ErrorPages/403.php
ErrorDocument 400 /ErrorPages/generalError.php
ErrorDocument 401 /ErrorPages/generalError.php
ErrorDocument 500 /ErrorPages/generalError.php
Everything works fine on port 80, but when it comes to SSL, the standard error pages are shown.
To be more specific:
http:www.mydomain.com/NoExistingPage.php redirects to the custom error page
https:www.mydomain.com/NoExistingPage.php DOES NOT redirect to the custom error page
am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance
Try putting a duplicate .htaccess file in the /secured folder and see if that works. The vhost for the https daemon is probably using /secured as doc_root which means even if the .htaccess from the regular doc_root is below the secured folder it will be ignored.
