Custom 404 for my_webapp

I’d read this How to Create Custom 404 Error Page in NGINX

and then customized it to my_webapp (I have several, so I made per-site configs and error pages). Basically:

  • create a custom 404.html file in the root directory of your my_webapp
  • edit /etc/nginx/conf.d/domain.tld.d/my_webapp.conf (this file is refered in the include of your domain.tld.conf file)
  • add there this config at the bottom (anywhere)
        # error 404
error_page 404 /404.html;
location = /404.html {
        root /var/www/my_webapp/www/;
        internal;
}

404.html is the name of MY error page
root is where your webapp is served from
internal is for making it accesible only from an actual error request

this way you can customize any error (403, 500, etc)
