404 error capturing or reporting

Post by cmscritic »

Is there some way to either capture 404 errors or report on them so that one can correct potentially broken links?

This may not be a S9Y specific feature but I'm trying to figure out how I can capture when people land on a 404 page?

There are Tools, that can do this. Or use a google sitemap and google for webmasters. There you could see, which links were not reachable for the google bot.

Hi!

And of course tools like AWStats that can operate on your Apache logfile.
