How do I check this? (My 404 pages look like this atm: www.arcor-user-forum.de/sdfkjekjsdf)

I just contacted google (again) to ask if this is ok with them (adsense on 404).

How exactly did you contact google? In your adsene account, or where?

Yes, your file not found pages return 404 code.

Nice one! Thanks

**ArnyVee** · 09-03-2008 11:16 AM

I thought I followed the directions as I should, but I can't seem to get it right.

Warning: include(/waltdisneyboards.com/public_html/misc.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/avarona/domains/waltdisneyboards.com/public_html/vbseo.php on line 1446

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/waltdisneyboards.com/public_html/misc.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib64/php') in /home/avarona/domains/waltdisneyboards.com/public_html/vbseo.php on line 1446

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the fix?

Thanks!

Make sure that you enter correct filename, you can find your folder path as described in this post: Create a Custom vBulletin "404 Page Not Found" Page, and direct vBSEO to use it.

**ArnyVee** · 09-03-2008 11:44 AM

I did that and now after adjusting it....it goes to a list of all of my smilies. :(

What do I do now?

**Keith Cohen** · 09-03-2008 11:46 AM

Did you create the "custom_404" template?

**ArnyVee** · 09-03-2008 11:57 AM

Yup...here's what I have in it....left it as is to start with....

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>

<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />

$headinclude
<title>Page Not Found - <phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_powered_by_vbulletin]</phrase></title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar
<br />
<div style="padding-left: 25px; padding-right: 25px; font-weight: bold;" align="center">
Sorry, the page you have requested cannot be found.
<br/><br/>
You can try a <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/search.php">search</a> if you are looking for something specific.
</div>
$footer
</body>
</html>

What is the exact name of the template? It looks like it doesn't exist:

Here's how to reach it manually: http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/misc...e&template=404

Also, make sure you created the template in all styles if you have multiple. (Or in the parent style, if all your styles are under one parent.)

**ArnyVee** · 09-03-2008 12:22 PM

The name is custom_404 as instructed.

I have it created in the only style that I have active. But, I'll add it to all of the styles, just in case.

**ArnyVee** · 09-03-2008 12:24 PM

Just added the template to all styles. Doesn't work yet. :(

This seems strange.

Any other thoughts?

**ArnyVee** · 09-03-2008 01:04 PM

Still nothing. :(

This is really strange.

I'm going to attach what I've done.... so maybe someone can spot something I did incorrectly.

**Keith Cohen** · 09-03-2008 01:14 PM

What is the contents of your 404.php?

**ArnyVee** · 09-03-2008 01:17 PM

Contents of my 404.php is....

<?php
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
header("Status: 404 Not Found");
$_GET['do']='page';
$_REQUEST['do']='page';
$_GET['template']='404';
$_REQUEST['template']='404';
define('VBSEO_PREPROCESSED', 1);
include '/home/avarona/domains/waltdisneyboards.com/public_html/misc.php';
?>

....as instructed per the first post.
