Sending 404 status code with error page

No problem.

Glad you got it worked out david.

Honestly -- I started digging through the code too wondering why it wouldn't be returning 404, then I noticed the 404 return was inside the page and thought, "I wonder..." haha.

OK ignore my last post, did some reading on the topic and it seems the best way and the way google will like most is to just display a page, I will just have to re-style the one thrown to look like my normal layout.

One thing I do need to ask, I was reading in that EE thread, and it said somewhere about putting in your robots.txt file the following

Code:

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /index.php/

I understand this is to stop duplicate content, but won't this then stop google looking at all my pages with urls <mysite>/index.php/<controler>.....

Or for this robot entry do you need to remove the index.php part?
