with the new rc5, when I have a non existant file, I dont get the standard 404 error page, I get the message "Page not found". Should be posisble to redirect to a 404 error page.
The most important is that vBSEO returns HTTP code 404 for these requests.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to have custom 404 handler script (the one set for apache) working directly: vBSEO handles any requests since the urls are customizable it is not possible to determine 'not found' requests until vbseo have it parsed.
However, I believe we can add a new option to vbseo_cp: to define a custom script filename that will be included for 404 errors.

Unveiling the NEW vBSEO Sitemap Generator 3.0. - available NOW for vBSEO Customers!
That would be great, since i am using the directive "ErrorDocument 404 /error.php" which seems to be obsolete till now.
Would be a great feature I think
@All:
With RC5 we have added a new feature for error handling compliance. In vBSEO Admin CP you can choose to handle "file not found" request by either (i) issuing a 404 error code, or (ii) redirecting to the forum homepage.
Likewise, standard vB error messages are now displayed correctly.
