How do you make a 404 page? - http-status-code-404

I thought of making a 404 Page. but it seems hard.. how do i do it?
Here's what I did:
Made .htaccess File
Put: ErrorDocument 404 /page-not-found.html inside of the .htaccess file..
Added css design
Why doesn't it work?
I use glitch as my coding website. Is that the problem?
Is there an alternative way to do this.?

If you want a custom 404 page for an app on Glitch, you'll need to be building a Node/full-stack app and configuring the page in your server-side code.
For example, I've got this simple Express app that sends any non-index route request to a 404 page: https://glitch.com/edit/#!/tranquil-hurricane-friction?path=server.js%3A25%3A0

How to Stop Redirecting to 404 page When page Not found in Next.js

I want to stop redirecting to 404 page when page not found in my next.js app. I just want to show my 404 component without redirecting or changing URL.
Currently, next.js redirecting to 404/ URL.
Is there any ways?
Thanks!
The Next.js framework has built-in ways for handling 404, 500, and other errors that may occur on your website. But to add custom layout and styling to those pages, you'll need to create both a /pages/404.js and /pages/_error.js file.
When one of those errors occur, Next.js will render that page instead of the default page it would otherwise automatically generate.
The /pages/404.js file will handle all 404 related errors. And the /pages/_error.js file will handle 500 type errors.
here's official documentation customizing 404
You can create custom 404 page in NextJS with creating file in
/pages/404.js
You can create page for 404 error.

React app SPA on S3 AWS while refreshing the page shows 404 page

I have a SPA made with React JS on a S3 Bucket and I’m using Cloud Front to work through HTTPS and with a custom domain. When I refresh the page - if I have another Route that is not the BASE_URL (for example domain.com/something), S3 sends me a 404 error.
I also tried redirecting the error page to BASE_URL but it doesn’t work, it redirects me to the Http default domain that S3 provides me and again, it gives me an 404 error page.
I don’t know if there exists an alternative way to keep the URL without any change (domain.com/page) and avoid the 404 error the way a web server (apache) handles.
If you are using CloudFront to host s3 website, the effective way to get rid of 404 on reload of non-index route like www.google.com/about or similar non / is by the following steps:
Go to your CloudFront distribution
Go to Error Pages
Create a new error page with the following params:
HTTP Error Code: 404
TTL: 0
Custom Error Response: Yes
Response Page Path: /index.html
HTTP Response Code: 200
enjoy

You have two options. Either use CloudFront error page as a catch-all that redirects to / (you mentioned you tried setting an error page but did not detail what you did. This should work). The downside is that it will respond with the HTML page for all not found paths, even for mistyped CSS paths, for example.
The other solution is to use Lambda#Edge to rewrite the origin request path. This is a more customizable solution and you can define which paths you want to redirect to the root.

404 error when reloading reactjs site deployed on github pages

I recently deployed a reactjs website on github pages using the custom domain -https://titanmarket.co.ke/.
The website works as expected but returns a 404 error when you reload a page. Usually, a user would expect the current page to be displayed on refresh.
Any insight on this would be great.

How to use legacy web site and ReactJS both?

I have a React app which is created by create-react-app command.
And I also have the blog system which is based on Wordpress.
Directory structure is like this.
*/index.html
/service-workder.js
/manifect.json
/index.html
/favicon.ico
/asset-manifest.json
/static/media
/js
/css
/blog <--------------------- Wordpress*
When I access the URL by http:mydomain/blog/,
Firefox show React page instead of Wordpress page.
Firefox even show React page for http:mydomain/blog/nonexisting ,
which I think is supposed to provide 404 not found from web server.
I was struggling to find a way NOT to let React take wildcard paths.
Safari use React only for index.html, which is good.
Chrome, Firefox use React for entire wildcard paths, even for not existing paths.
http://myserver/ ---> should show React app
http://myserver/nonexistence ---> should show 404 from server
Please help me to figure out isolate React app only for exact index.html.
Thanks in advance.
Like I wrote here, the root cause was service worker which seems to be HTML5 feature to make a web site to a web app.
Unregistering service worker was the solution.

What is the permalink or URL for a 404 page in WordPress?

I am trying to validate the HTML on my 404 page for a WordPress theme, but obviously, the validator cannot find the page, because it doesn't exist.
http://cambridgeuplighting.com/agsdfachgsd
http://cambridgeuplighting.com/404a234
Or any false link will generate the 404 page, but what's the actual url for this page?
Thanks!
Most systems don't expose a 404 error page with a 200 status code. Tick the Validate error pages option at http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_uri+with_options instead.
There isn't one, really. Your best bet is:
find the bit in Wordpress which sets the 404 header and comment it out. (I gave it a quick go, but failed)
If you're using firefox, install this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/249 which will validate the page inside the browser. (This seems to be the same kind of thing for Chrome, but I haven't tried it: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/cgndfbhngibokieehnjhbjkkhbfmhojo )
download the pure HTML for the page and upload it.
