htaccess send 404 status on multiple 404 redirects

I have the following rules in my .htaccess file

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/en-us/
Rewriterule ^(.*) /en-us/error-404/ [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
Rewriterule ^(.*) /error-404/ [L]

And it's working fine. When there are requests starts with /en-us/, I can see the content of /en-us/error-404/ page and in all other cases I see the content of /error-404/ page. However, the status code received from the server is 200 OK.

Is it possible to send 404 Not Found in both cases?

Solution

  • You can use if/elseif/else conditions to use different ErrorDocument directives: (available in Apache 2.4+)

    <If "%{REQUEST_URI} =~ m#^/en-us/#">
   ErrorDocument 404 /en-us/error-404/
</If>
<Else>
   ErrorDocument 404 /error-404/
</Else>
