Hello Valentin,

Thank you for your reply. Just one question. It is not just the 404 errors that I want to redirect. I want to redirect all 4xx and 5xx errors. I have updated my config file as below, but it doesn't seem to work. The 404 errors still go to access.log

server {
...
...
root /wdrive/www;

access_log /mnt/log/nginx/access.log ;
error_log /mnt/log/nginx/error.log;

error_page 400 401 402 403 404 /error4x.html;
error_page 500 501 502 503 /error5x.html;

location /error4x.html{
access_log /mnt/log/nginx/error.log;
}

location /error5x.html{
access_log /mnt/log/nginx/error.log;
}

location / {
....
}
}

I have created error4x.html page in /wdrive/www.

Thanks.
