Symfony 2 - Redirect() to Specified Page

I am trying to redirect Symfony to another route /404 if there is a 404 error. In the ExceptionController.php file, I am looking for the error code 404. When error 404 is present, redirect to my-domain.com/404. I want to redirect my users to another 404 page is because my custom 404 page is from another bundle.

Below is the code I have written. When I go to a non-existing website, I am presented with a 500 server error page instead of my expected redirected 404 page. Am I missing something?

if ($code == '404') {
    return $this->redirect("/404");
}

I've had a look, and as far as I know it's not possible to have error pages within a bundle. It has to be a site wide one found in app/Resources/views/Exception/error404.html.twig

However you can return a custom Response by leveraging the HttpFoundation component

<?php

namespace Acme\WhateverBundle\Controller;

//...
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

class MyController extends Controller
{
    //...
    public function takeAction()
    {
        //..

        if ($notFound) {
            $twig = $this->container->get('templating');

            $content = $twig->render('AcmeAnotherBundle:Exception:error404.html.twig');

            return new Response($content, 404, array('Content-Type', 'text/html'));   
        }

        // ...

        return $this->render('AcmeWhateverBundle:Default:index.html.twig');
    }
}

You might try using Symfony's createNotFoundException() method:

http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/book/controller.html#managing-errors-and-404-pages

Instead of redirecting to a 404 page, try this in your controller:

throw $this->createNotFoundException('This page does not exist.');
