Hi,

You might be aware that if a DNS request point your nginx server.

and this later do not have a server rule for it , nginx will server anyway the first server found in your config file, WTF !

So I’ve found https://stackoverflow.com/a/23281442

server {
  listen       80 default_server;
  server_name  everythingelse;

  error_page 404 /404.html;

  # Everything is a 404
  location / {
    return 404; #return the code 404
  }

  # link the code to the file
  location = /404.html {
    #EDIT this line to make it match the folder where there is your errors page
    #Dont forget to create 404.html in this folder
    root  /var/www/nginx/errors/;
  }
}

But this is not working !

I made one of my domain pointing to this nginx server, and he still server another site aka server For httpS for http nothing appear…

Thanks.

    ok I’ve found something that ~works !

    	server {
		listen 443 ssl;
		server_name _;
		ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/catchall.crt;
		ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/catchall.key;

		error_page 404 /404.html; #at /var/www/html/

		location /404.html {internal;}

		return 404;
	}

    so i get the default 404 html from nginx. but not the one that I specified error_page 404 /404.html; any ideas ?

      The full working code:

      server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name _;
    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/catchall.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/catchall.key;

    error_page 404 /404_CatchAll.html;

    # Everything is a 404
    location / {
        return 404;
    }

    location /404_CatchAll.html {root /var/www/html/;}
}
