Hi

I’m setting a custom 404 page with:

server {  
…  
error\_page 404 /errors/not-found.html;  
}

And the page looks as follows:

\<link

href=“/favicon.ico” rel=“shortcut icon” type=“image/vnd.microsoft.icon”  
/\>

 ![Wmkt-logo](https://www.ruby-forum.com/assets/wmkt-logo-fdb0e2494a44ea8b38242b1bf1ae5f9a.png)  
  

## Seite nicht gefunden

Die angeforderte Seite existiert  
nicht.

* * *

## Page non trouvée

Cette page n’éxiste  
pas.

* * *

## Page Not Found

This page does not exist.

* * *

This is what I get with “curl -i [http://wemakeit.ch/cache/doesnotexist](http://wemakeit.ch/cache/doesnotexist)”:

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found  
Transfer-Encoding: chunked  
Connection: keep-alive  
Keep-Alive: timeout=20  
Status: 404 Not Found  
X-Request-Id: 6fc3d91efbddf9a5f9dbf32f6d4aff32  
X-Runtime: 0.002343  
Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 21:46:48 GMT  
X-Rack-Cache: miss  
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff  
X-Powered-By: Phusion Passenger 4.0.2  
Server: nginx/1.2.6 + Phusion Passenger 4.0.2

There’s not Content-Type header, which is why Chrome shows the page  
source  
instead of rendering the HTML.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong here?

Thanks!

Looks like your 404s are being generated by a backend, not by nginx. You  
may want to use fastcgi\_intercept\_errors / proxy\_intercept\_errors.

You’re right, but since the pages are served via Passenger, these  
directives  
won’t work. However, I found a way to pass the correct content type in  
the  
routing table.

Thanks!

… which you may want to share, so that later people can look for a  
working solution?
