Solution

  • If your assets folder is there to serve things like CSS, JavaScript and image files (like would be intended), and is an actual directory, then you can either do this by adding a .htaccess file to the directory (assuming it's running under Apache) which will take all requests which are not for explicit file paths and route them to the website controller/action for a 404 (or other page you use for this).

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yourdomain.com/path/to/404 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

    Alternatively, you can add an index.php file which redirects the browser to the location for a 404 page, or displays a 404 type page as a response.

    header("Location: http://yourdomain.com/path/to/404");
