Question 168876 in Nginx Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Can I get Django to redirect 404s to my homepage using Nginx?

I’m having a problem getting handler 404 to redirect to my homepage. Here’s what I have and tried…

In settings.py

DEBUG=False

In views.py

class view_404(request, exception=None):
  return render(request, "mysite/index.html")

In urls.py

From django.conf.urls import handler404

urlpatterns = [
  path('', views.index, name='index')
]

handler404 = "mysite.views.index"

I’ve tried putting the view_404 function directly in the urls.py file, I’ve tried handler404 = views.index. I’ve tried handling 404s in my nginx.conf file

error_page 404 =200 /index.html;

and

error_page 404 /index.html;
location /index.html {
  root path/to/template;
  internal;
}

I have not been able to get any of these to work…

    So the problem was that it it needs to be handled in the projects root urls.py file and it acts globally for all apps

    Create a view which redirect to your index:

    def my_404_view(request):
    return redirect("index")

    And reference to this view in your urls.py file:

    handler404 = "mysite.views.my_404_view"  # or whatever path you need
