How would I eliminate the default 404 page in x-cart and just redirect users to the home page?

I tried to do a redirect in htaccess, but I can't even figure out where the 404 page is coming from. I played around with 404.php but didn't have any luck.

look in either skin/common_files/ or skin/YOUR-SKIN and you will find a folder named 404. Inside is the html page that you can edit. I would not recommend putting in a redirect.

You should be able to define the 404 ErrorDocument in .htaccess.

how do you redirect 404 to home.php in .htaccess

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.myurl.com/home.php
ErrorDocument 401 http://www.myurl.com/home.php

still not working... any help is greatly appreciated

You are better off redirecting 404's to a page where you can provide alternative options for the customer, eg. links to sitemap etc.

To redirect 404 error to a static page, create a new 404 error static page, noting the page ID number.

Then edit /include/func/func.core.php

After...

@header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");

Insert...

header('Location: http://www.yourstore.com/pages.php?pageid=123');

Or, to just redirect to the homepage, insert...

header('Location: http://www.yourstore.com');
