control 404

[eddipas Profile]

Hi,
I have this rule to control special characters like á , é... ñ, etc.

RewriteRule .*(?:ã|ú|ó|í|é|á|ñ).* /include/404.asp [NC,R=301,L]

The problem is that this rule, "redirect" to the page 404.asp and google interprets like redirection 301 (Status moved permanent). I want "response status 404".
I try in this way.

RewriteRule .*(?:ã|ú|ó|í|é|á|ñ).* /include/404.asp [NC,R=404,L]

Now i have the status 404 but i can't see the page 404.asp to personalize the message. I have this message.

Not Found
The requested URL http://www.mydomain.com/include/404.asp was not found on this server.

The page is correct in the location before mentioned, i dont know why the message "not found"

Plaese your help.

regards.

Hello,

you can't d it like that. You're redirecting the page, so the status can't be simply 404.
You may try this module to create customized error pages - http://www.helicontech.com/ape/doc/mod_ ... orDocument, however it will give 302 code, but not 400.
