"File Not Found" requests handling?

In trying to get a custom code working on the "File Not Found" requests handling?" under general settings, I'm getting the following errors.

I tested the other two options and they work fine.

Code:

Hi Mark,

My belief is that vBSEO does not read custom variables from a PHP page for security purposes in this setting. I'm not quite sure about that though, so that I'm bringing this thread to Oleg's attention for better assistance.

Please hold.

Thanks, I was also trying to put it into htaccess like so -

ErrorDocument 404 Lost Page

Hello,

the path in Custom handler can include the file name only, not the URL, like:
/home/www/domain.com/forums/view.php

If

view.php?pg=lostpage
is your vbadvanced page,

you should make a generic CRR for all of these like:

'^view\.php\?pg=(.*)?$' => 'view/$1/'

and then you can use

/home/www/domain.com/forums/view/lostpage/

as your 404 url in the settings

Brillant!

Thanks,
Mark
