@Stephen — thanks, I overlooked that… absolutely, no need to feed another one. I’ve switched the examples over to example.com (note to other readers: “example.com” is reserved for exactly this use and isn’t available as a real domain), plus added a rel=”nofollow” to the 1&1 FAQ page link, since it’s not much use to non 1&1 customers either, and 1&1 certainly isn’t paying me to advertise them.

You may want to unlink “the-domain-name.com” or use example.com. That domain is “parked” with ads and is no different than linking to Sedoparking.com

@iRipoff: I’m not sure what you’re looking for. Why would you want an RSS feed of 404s?

@arthur: I’m not writing about wordpress 404 issues — this post is strictly about a problem with 1&1’s default 404 pages.

Edit .htaccess
Insert

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Wait a few seconds and your wordpress 404 error page should work

Is there any way to turn the 404 error messages into a rss feed?

I had similar experience, the customized plugin worked fine except the error page.
I changed to iBegin Share, but it has problems with character encoding, so I would get back to Rob’s nice customized Share plugin, if there is a fix for that error message problem.

Hi, I have customized and used this plugin and working well. Thanks!

After a mail is sent, the page gets forwarded to an error page! Its the same way happening in your site also. See the title of the page.

Can you please share the idea to fix that?

Checked iBegin Share, and it looks quite nice. As far as I understand, it will not send information to any third party, and it logs only the pages that are being shared, but not any personal information (except IP address). Is that correct? It also is possible to translate it. And it is open source.

Rob - you should try out our iBegin Share tool (linked as my name). Fully open source, and comes with printing/pdf/Word doc support.

I think Sedo got this all fixed up.

I tested again — it’s still broken. They must be using IP records to choose locale (since the HTTP headers I’m sending them only show that my computer is localized to the US; I’m just physically in France), then they are showing any 404 as if it were a parked domain.

I think they screwed up when set up the 1&1 404 page setup for non-US locales (or at least non-English locales). Or maybe they just didn’t bother?

Notes on testing this:
1) You need a domain on 1&1 shared hosting with no custom 404 page. http://tellmelater.com isn’t active yet, so you can use it for testing. (I’m leaving it broken….)
2) Access a non-existent page (like http://tellmelater.com/notfound.html) on that domain from a computer in a non-English speaking country.

If anyone tests from within Canada or the UK, let me know if it’s broken there as well (and you see a page like for a parked domain)… I’m not sure if this is broken for ALL non-US access, or just access from non-English-speaking countries.

I don’t know if this should be a comment under this entry, or your Schlump Around entry, but at any rate…

There are some VERY good substitutions to be made from that ol’ church song that goes,

“And He will raise you up, on eagles’ wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand.”

It’s actually more like “raaaaaiiiise you up on eeeeeeagles wings,” you remember!

Tyson and I were singing it the other day. Lots of wings to be had–beagles’ wings, weevils’ wings, the list goes ON.

“And He will raise you up, on beavers’ wings
Fill your paws with chocomutts….”

Now THAT’S the kind of He that I’m talkin’ bout!
