404 does not get redirected #15

Closed calvn closed 8 years ago

calvn commented 8 years ago

It seems that 404.html does not seem to get redirected on 404's. For example, if I don't have an about page, the browser does not redirect to 404.html, but instead gives me a generic 404 - page not found for that particular URL.

Actually, this might be an issue with hugo server and not with the template. https://gohugo.io/templates/404/ explains how 404's are handled depending on host.

Hello @cleung2010,

this behavior is caused be Hugo's built-in server that doesn't handle 404 errors. It just a simple file server. The 404 page needs to be accessed manually. See spf13/hugo#874
