Disable error page for one location?

Server NGINX
1

Hi everyone,

I’m using Nginx to proxy to an Apache backend. The backend generates a
wide
variety of ugly 404- and 500-code error messages that I don’t really
want to
show to the end-user, so in my server block I’ve got:

proxy_intercept_errors on;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /error/500.html;
error_page 400 /error/404.html;

The backend scripts in one of my locations generate useful 404 (but not
500)
messages that I want to pass through to the client. How can I pass
through
just 404 errors in one particular location from my backend to the
client?

Thanks,
Nicholas Sherlock

Untested, but:

“error_page” determines which response codes are not passed through
as-is.

And directive values between levels are generally inherited or replaced,
but not added.

So, in the location you care about, repeating your server-level
error_page
directives without the 404 one, should Just Work.

That works, thanks!
