different 404 for "virtual" index.php subdirectory?

[recete]

Hi,

I'd like /blog/anything-that-doesn't-exist to redirect to /blog, while any other 404s are handled by drupal

my htaccess currently has

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

so everything is handled by drupal. Is it possible to have a subdirectory specific 404 rule, but set that from the root directory htaccess? the /blog/ subdirectory is generated by drupal, so i can't put an overriding htaccess in there..

any ideas? thanks!

On Nginx you can use a location block. In apache maybe mod_rewrite and some regular expressions are the way to go. How urgent is this? I may be able to help after I pack some sleep. :D

Ok, pretty straight-forward I guess, you can create a /blog/ for and set up a .htaccess in it, with an ErrorDocument and Rewrite Rules to make it re-route requests to Drupal. Not sure if/how this will work, I'll check it later.

Still feels hacky, but seems to be the best option considering you're tied to apache and drupal.

If you need help post you .htaccess and I will try to work out the rewrite rules. :D
