Redirect var in 404 not working after EasyApache Update

[Rajeeva Lochana]

Previously till now, I had the apache's default 404 pages running because I like those. Those pages showed the requested url by the user, I know that it is the environment variable: REDIRECT_URL. They would display:

The requested URL /<the wrong url> was not found on this server.

The redirect_url var is not set anymore, and because of this, the 404 pages display:

The requested URL was not found on this server.

Am I the only one with this issue? The requested URL is not being displayed!!

And also, the other thing I noticed after the update of easyapache was that the 404 errors were not displayed in the chrome console. Only header status codes.
They are displayed for other websites.

Hello @rajeevacj

It doesn't help me at all. I am asking why the hard-coded apache error page doesn't contain the requested URL after ea4 update?

 

[Rajeeva Lochana]

Is there a possible way to change apache's hard coded pages?

 

[cPanelLauren]

Technically you should be able to modify any of the error pages from the cPanel account by going to cPanel>>Advanced>>Error Pages

 

[Rajeeva Lochana]

I am just curious about how to change the hard-coded page? Instead of overriding it!

 

[cPanelLauren]

We don't support any manual changes of that nature and if you make modifications I cannot guarantee that they will remain after an update but for more information on this you should read Apache's documentation Custom Error Responses - Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4

 

[Rajeeva Lochana]

I will just take backup of whatever that file is and replace it again after an update, or I will modify it again after an update maybe.
And by the way there is no info about the hard-coded pages on the given link on httpd.apache.org.
Am I being rude here?

You can indeed do that.

And by the way there is no info about the hard-coded pages on the given link on httpd.apache.org.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. There is indeed information on Apache's error pages there and how to customize them. This is literally documentation from Apache on how to change their error documents.

If you're looking for their location you can find it here:

Though, again neither cPanel nor Apache recommends you modify these directly.

 

[Rajeeva Lochana]

Apologies you did not understand, I understand I am not clear here. Let me come clear.
For example:-
You have a error page set using the error document directive in .htaccess or error document.conf. If the error document specified there does not exist, there is an error like this:-

Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

How do I change this automatically generated error document, is this located anywhere? I don't want to override it.

 

[Rajeeva Lochana]

I have found out that this error page is set in the Apache's Source Code, which I do not want to modify, cuz I am not sure if I am permitted to.

 

[cPanelLauren]

I won't delete it as the process can be helpful for others if they want to change a different page. The note that you did not think it relevant to change this page after all should be notice enough to let others know.

 

[Rajeeva Lochana]

Oh yeah, nice. I just didn't want some things that I thought was not useful. But let there be everything anyways. The fix for my problem was in the Apache source code itself, which I don't know if I have permission to edit.
