i am not getting vm 404.
when i type domain.com/asdf/adf it shows the vm homepage
i just want to create my own 404 page.
tried htaccess
tried /templte/templatename/error.php
tried enable 404 in virtuemart
tried sf404 component, etc.
nothing works...
my question is, how can i get my OWN 404 page instead of the vm homepage?
not logical and ugly...
searched?

yep... tried all even change the router.php... nothing works.. ;-(
this is not logical.. (below between brackets, from the tread you mentioned)

for example. if your shop alias is
/shop
then you type in
/shop/axnlksdlklkfjkldgfj you will NOT get a 404
what you get is /shop display, BECAUSE vmart/ joomla has NO idea what the "view" is supposed to be to even know if its a fake category.
& OP,
This really does not create a SEO problem. The canonical url is in the head of the doc.

in my opinion: 404 means not found, it does not mean 'show vm homepage instead'
i want a 404 to give a message to the viewer, that what he types is not available... it's not that hard.. but i cannot get this to work..
