404_override ?

You have to define a valid route, so the function in the routed controller should exist. If the function doesn't exist the default error page will be shown.

Step1: Define the route "404_override" in your routes.php config file:

Code:

$route['404_override']             = "home/show_404";

Step 2: Open the controller and define a function show_404. In my case this will be the home.php controller

Code:

function show_404()
{
    $this->output->set_status_header('404');
    echo "404 - not found";
}

This should work :-)
