Creating custom error page in Symfony 2.5

I am working with Symfony 2.5.3 and I am trying to create the custom error page so for example if someone lands on a page or try to access a page that does not exist the 404 error message should appear within the theme of the site.

I understand that default 404 error page sits inside the TwigBundle that comes with symfony and looking at some other answers on this site people are suggesting that in order to have the custom error page I need to copy them in directory ROOT app/Resources/TwigBundle/views/Exception so I copied over the error.html.twig and even created error404.html.twig but this does not work. I also looked into this solution but still no luck.

I tried to access my development site via http://127.0.0.1:8000/app.php/services to check may be in production i will see the correct template but I dont, please note that i have cleared the cache before accessing http://127.0.0.1:8000/app.php/services and I still see the default error template that comes with Symfony

I will really appreciate any help on this.

First double check this :

  • Check if you're custom error template is in app/Resources/TwigBundle/views/Exception folder
  • Then double check the name of you're custom error template if it is error.html.twig OR/AND error404.html.twig
  • Then create the custom error/template that you want users to see
  • You can see the custom error/page when you view the website via app.php which is a production environment.

Beetween each check

rm -rf app/cache/*

It should works now ;)

Another way to easily test your custom error template in dev mode is to use instead WebfactoryExceptionsBundle who provide a test controller for displaying your custom error page even when kernel.debug is set to true.
