Creating a custom 404 error page

[Rob Hall，修改在9 年前。]

I've set up in a hook war file a simple custom 404.jsp file and set this in my portal-ext.properties (I found these settings in other threads):

# 404 page
layout.show.http.status=true
layout.friendly.url.page.not.found=/errors/404.jsp

Restarted Liferay, deployed the war file. If I try and go to a page that doesn't exist on my site, instead of the 404 page I get a nonsense message--
'This webpage is not available' and the detail error message is Error code: ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED. Tried in both Chrome and Firefox.

Any thoughts on the source of this? Is there some configuration missing?

Hi Rob,

Can you try to disable your GZipFilter from web.xml?
Try putting in portal-ext.properties:
com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.gzip.GZipFilter=false

HTH!
