No matter what I do, I can't bind the 404 page to Laravel's handler.

This is what my handler.php looks like:

//app/Exceptions/handler.php public function render($request, Exception $e) { if($this->isHttpException($e)) { switch ($e->getStatusCode()) { // not found case 404: return \Response::view('errors.404',404); break; // internal error case '500': return \Response::view('errors.500',500); break; default: return $this->renderHttpException($e); break; } } else { return parent::render($request, $e); } }

In my controller I render the view like this:

render view($request)

where $request is the uri.

I added 404.blade.php under /views/errors/, but am still getting Laravel's standard debug error page : Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

dumping $this->isHttpException($e) returns false bolean

Here is the entire log

Reset to default

You do not have to code anything but creating some templates files in views/errors, e.g.

 laravel/resources/views/errors/404.blade.php laravel/resources/views/errors/500.blade.php laravel/resources/views/errors/403.blade.php

Laravel can render them automatically.

I did mention in my post that I added 404.blade.php inside views/errors
In the debug mode, it shows error description page instead your error page, try to change APP_DEBUG=false in your .env file, or 'debug' => false, in your config/app.php file.

As soon as you want to use Laravel default views/errors directory for storing your custom error views you should call isHttpException() method inside app/Exceptions/handler.php.

 /** * Render an exception into an HTTP response. * * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request * @param \Exception $e * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function render($request, Exception $e) { if ($this->isHttpException($e)) { switch ($e->getStatusCode()) { // not found case 404: //whatever you want to do with this exception return $this->renderHttpException($e); break; // internal error case '500': //whatever you want to do with this exception return $this->renderHttpException($e); break; default: return $this->renderHttpException($e); break; } } else { return parent::render($request, $e); } }
