Setting 404 page in Nginx

I am using this page (http://wiki.nginx.org/WordPress) to setup my WordPress on a nginx/php-fpm server.

Everything is okay, except the 404 page

  1. When I request www.example.com/foo, it send me the default nginx 404 not found page
  2. I have already set the following, but no luck..

Config:

fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
error_page   404  /index.php?error=404;

I have tried to add some code (e.g. die(“wordpress”);) in a plugin when I request this page, and clearly that the request is handled by wordpress already, but it just can’t use the 404.php in the default template.

Anyone can help?

  1. Remove the 'fastcgi_intercept_errors' argument from you configuration. It’s unnecessary since 'error_page' declares 404 errors, which should be handled by index.php, which will trigger PHP-FPM to handle it, and WordPress to present your theme’s 404 page.

    It seems counter-intuitive, but 'fastcgi_intercept_errors' is actually causing PHP not to handle the error page.
