Inside this article we will see the concept i.e How To Create a Custom 404 Page in Laravel 10 Tutorial. Article contains the classified information i.e Laravel 404 page not found template customization.

A 404 error page, also known as a “Page Not Found” error, is an HTTP response status code that indicates that the web server cannot find the requested webpage. This error typically occurs when a user tries to access a webpage that does not exist or has been deleted.

Let’s get started.

Laravel Installation

Open terminal and run this command to create a laravel project.

$ composer create-project laravel/laravel myblog

It will create a project folder with name myblog inside your local system.

To start the development server of laravel –

$ php artisan serve

URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000

Assuming laravel already installed inside your system.

Create Database & Connect

To create a database, either we can create via Manual tool of PhpMyadmin or by means of a mysql command.

CREATE DATABASE laravel_app;

To connect database with application, Open .env file from application root. Search for DB_ and update your details.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel_app
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root

Types of Error Pages in Laravel 10

There are several status codes which laravel application use for errors. According to the error code laravel provides by default the blade template files in application.

Application Default Error Pages

401.blade.php
403.blade.php
404.blade.php
419.blade.php
429.blade.php
500.blade.php
503.blade.php

These all error pages stored inside /errors folder. These pages handles the error page layout of application. By default /errors folder will not be available inside /resources/views folder.

How To Publish Laravel Default Error Pages?

Open project into terminal and run this command to publish error pages of laravel.

$ php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-errors

Above command will create /errors folder inside /resources/views folder. This errors folder provides all the layouts of error pages.

Laravel Default 404 Error Page

Let’s say a laravel application contains these routes.

//...

Route::get("/", function () {
    echo "<h3>Welcome to home page</h3>";
});

Route::get("/about-us", function () {
    echo "<h3>Welcome to about us page</h3>";
});

//...

When we open URL like

http://127.0.0.1:8000/ OR http://127.0.0.1:8000/about-us It will work.
http://127.0.0.1:8000/contact-us – It will throw 404 error and open a default 404 error page of laravel.

Output be like –

Next, let’s change this default layout for laravel 404 page.

Create Custom 404 Error Page in Laravel

If suppose you didn’t publish error pages then you need to create /errors folder inside /resources/views folder and then a file with name 404.blade.php should be created.
