How do i create a custom 404 / error page?

I'm not sure about Laravel 5, but for Laravel 4 I use this (app/start/global.php):

App::error(function(Exception $exception, $code)
{
    if (App::isDownForMaintenance()) {
        return Response::make("Maintenance, brb.", 503);
    }

    if (Config::get('app.debug')) return;

    switch ($code)
    {
        case 403: /* permission denied */
        case 404: /* not found */
            return View::make('_layouts.error_404');

        case 500: /* internal error */
        default:
            return View::make('_layouts.error_500');
    }
});

Create a view and set this code in app/Exception/Handler.php :

/**
 * Render an exception into a response.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  \Exception  $e
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
    if($e instanceof NotFoundHttpException)
    {
        return response()->view('missing', [], 404);
    }
    return parent::render($request, $e);
}

Set this use to get it working :

use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException;

@bestmomo @henrique Thank you so much! The code from @bestmomo worked!

thank you so much to help me after a gig struggle within 3 days!!

Since commits 30681dc and 9acf685 the missing() method had been moved to the Illuminate\Exception\Handler class.

So, for some time, you could do this:

app('exception')->missing(function($exception)
{
    return Response::view('errors.missing', [], 404);
});

... But then recently, a refactoring has been done in 62ae860.

Now, what you can do is adding the following to app/Http/Kernel.php:

// add this...
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException;
use Response;

class Kernel extends HttpKernel {

    (...)

    public function handle($request)
    {
        try
        {
            return parent::handle($request);
        }

        // ... and this:
        catch (NotFoundHttpException $e)
        {
            return Response::view('errors.missing', [], 404);
        }

        catch (Exception $e)
        {
            throw $e;
        }
    }

Hi, I want to show custom error page in my laravel 5 app. for example any user type url like http://www.app.com/url123 (wrong) but http://www.app.com/url (right)

default error show as : Uh-oh, something went wrong! Error Code: 500

but instead I wana show my custom view

how I can do this: same link I prefer but not achieve yet

My current app/Exceptions/Handler.php :

<?php namespace App\Exceptions;

use Exception;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;
use symfony\http-kernel\Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException;

class Handler extends ExceptionHandler {

    protected $dontReport = [
        'Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpException'
    ];

    public function report(Exception $e)
    {
        return parent::report($e);
    }
    public function render($request, Exception $e)
    {
        if ($this->isHttpException($e))
        {
            return $this->renderHttpException($e);
        }
        else if($e instanceof NotFoundHttpException)
        {
            return response()->view('missing', [], 404);
        }
        else
        {
            return parent::render($request, $e);
        }
    }

}

and I create a error view on : \resources\views\errors\404.blade.php

but still not load my 404.blade.php view

@kamlesh dont mind with all this code, now just create a resources\views\errors\404.blade.php and it should work.

I'm not sure if this is just me but I have noticed that Custom 404 doesn't work on my local homestead box. It does work when deployed to a server.

With all posts on homestead I see on this forum it doesn't make me want to use it :)

@bestmomo I wonder if the 404 thing is by design.

I'm really impressed with homestead, it's made the local setup so much easier/tidier.

@bestmomo never had any issues with it.. Give it a try ;)

@blackbird try it with Windows and come back to tell me if it's so convenient ;)

@bestmomo Fair enough I'm a mac user :P I don't have issues (A)

@bestmomo Thanks, It's working now

My current app/Exceptions/Handler.php :

use Exception; use Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler; // use symfony\http-kernel\Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException;

class Handler extends ExceptionHandler { protected $dontReport = [ 'Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpException' ]; public function report(Exception $e) { return parent::report($e); } public function render($request, Exception $e) { if ($this->isHttpException($e)) { return $this->renderHttpException($e); }else { return parent::render($request, $e); } }

}

@kamlesh It means that the route is not defined correctly or you don't return a correct view!

@bestmomo I take it back, 404 pages do work locally. I must have done something dumb.

Hi all

What if we want to write an exception handler for one laravel 5 package, such that it displays the custom 404 view of that package. Actually I want to know how should I register the Exception Handler of a package inside the provider of that package.

Thanks in advance for your help.

@lockeyo For me in L5 I can just add a 404.blade.php to the errors view folder and it does all automaticaly.

Thanks @lockeyo for your reply, I want to have a separate 404 view for that package, I have a 404 view file inside the view folder of the package but I need to register this to get it working.

Read this tutorial http://www.techigniter.in/tutorials/create-custom-error-pages-in-laravel-5/

Thanks @vineetgarg90 for your reply, actually I want to modify my custom laravel package to do this.

I want to write a separate exception handler for one custom Laravel5 package, such that it displays the custom 404 view of that package. Actually I want to know how should I register the Exception Handler of a package inside the provider of that package.

For example, if name of my package is testPackage, my ExceptionHandler file is located in : vendor/testPackage/src/Exceptions/testExceptionHandler.php

And the 404 view file is located in : vendor/testPackage/src/views/404.blade.php

@alenoosh any luck doing this?

For Laravel >= 5 versions, create in the "resources/views/errors" directory, the "404.blade.php" file with the template or required functions. ; )

@bestmomo I tried exactly whatever you said but now it gives me HTTP ERROR 500 and the page is saying that mydomain.com is currently unable to handle this request. I have created a 404.blade.php view and placed it under proper directory. Still its not working for me. Though on localhost its working but on live site its not.

@altafneva

Looks like a server requirements issue. Check this list.

What you have to do In ->views/errors ->add redirect location to your package or folder ->@extends('your_location.errors.404')

@bestmomo it worked, but not logging any thing in logs i need both log and view

@JHONJAIDER1000 - yep! very nice! it works! thanks
