Kryptronic Software Support Forum

I have tried all manner of variations on this theme without success. I removed the http://www.quasarelectronics.co.uk from the start of the current line as it was pulling unsecured 404 page into https pages and stopping the padlock from appearing.

I have just completed testing this on another server running Plesk 10 under our .com domain and find exactly the same problem occurs. This only code mod on that install is this one below. Rem out "RewriteRule ^(.*) index\.php?COREseourl=/$1 [L,PT]" and 404 is returned.

if (empty($result[0]['htmlcontent'])) {

// Custom 404 Mod
$this->globals('core_display.suppress_skin',1);

header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');
// header('Location: ' . $this->CORE_Display->link_namespace('cms','display',array('ref'=>'splash')));
// header('Location: ' . $this->CORE_Display->link_namespace('cms','display',array('ref'=>'error404.shtml')));
header('Location: error404.shtml');
return 1;

     if ($this->debug) {$this->debugger("display: No content available for reference '{$reference}'.  App: cms");}

} else {

Hurrah! At last it bloody well works! So not a problem with our server setup in the end. 2 months to the day that I started this post. Thanks to your perseverance.

We're going to be adding 404 capabilities within the software in one of the next few updates.  To produce 404s for missing products, make a similar mod in the file {private}/apps/ecom/ECOM_Prod/ECOM_Prod.php in this code block:

if (empty($product)) {

     if ($this->debug) {$this->debugger("prodshow: Product information is not available.");}

     $this->print_message('ecom','invaliditem');

     return 1;

} // End of if statement.

And for categories, do so in {private}/apps/ecom/ECOM_Cat/ECOM_Cat.php at this code block:

if (($this->IsError($result)) || (empty($result))) {

     $this->CORE_Display->include_file('ecom','noitems.php');

     if ($this->debug) {$this->debugger("catshow: Did not locate a category to display.  App: ecom");}

     return 1;

} // End of if statement.

If you're not adept at coding in PHP, perhaps requesting PHP-based mods on the forum is not the way to go for you.  We have a Custom Shop where you can queue jobs for us to complete for you if you have no coding experience.

Introducing 404s into the software is slated for our next update.  When we release the update that will become a stock feature.

Now 8.0.5 is released can you confirm if we still need this line in our htaccess file:

ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml

ALSO

Why is this page redirectly to our home page with a 200 success code?  It is an old page that no longer exists and not in our htaccess redirects. It should not be redirecting as Google are picking it up a duplicate conent,

I have done a bit more testing. It is not out htaccess file.

The CCP demo site also goes to the home page if you include "gbu0-catshow" or "gbu0-prodshow" in the URL and it returns a 200 success server response.

We would prefer it to return a 404 page not found to avoid duplicate content issues. Please try this link and you will see what I mean.

The pages are not non-existent to Google.

Having had urls in CCP6 format and new urls in CCP8 format they will not be purged by Google if they keep returning a 200 success code. Google are instead treating them as duplicate content. We do not want to redirect them all in htaccess and robots.txt is not flushing them out.

I have done the above but Google has once again included these non-existent pages (hundreds of them) as duplicate content on our domain root. The pages are returning the following response rather than a 40ow to fix this? CCP gives the impression that a 404 is being returned at it displays the "page not found" page. This problem is once again having a significant effect on our search rankings.

Fetch as Google

This is how Googlebot fetched the page.

Yes we run 807. What file is responsible for handling the 404 redirects (maybe we corrupted it)?

Since 807 I thought I had seen the last of this problem as my testing showed correct 404 being returned for the duplicate content in WMT (and they dropped out).

I added the redirects suggested above when they showed up in WMT last month. I have today amended them to R=404. This may not be the ideal solution but it does at least keep Google happy.

I checked the file notfound.php and it is at 8.0.4. Is that the latest version?

Thanks.

What drives CCP8 to return a 301 for the old CCP pages like gbu0-display, gbu0-prodshow, etc?
