Hi ciccio83

You should add & ~ E_NOTICE in error_reporting in php.ini. You can read more in http://php.net/error-reporting

Looks like ciccio83’s page is still 404’d. I have a similar issue but have no php.ini file, only .htaccess? Would this be a file I create myself? kissing

no your host would. Might turn off .htaccess and then in configuration.php turn off SEF and url rewrite. see how that works.

Actually you loose your site viewers to the dreaded 404 error pages, to correct it just redirect them to you home page. Below i will show how can you do it i.e., if someone enter wrong address of your site they will be sent to your homepage instead of 404 page..
Follow below steps:-
1) Copy the file templates/system/error.php to your default template location templates/<template-name>/error.php using either your hosts file manager or with a FTP client such as FileZilla.

2) Open error.php for edit

Change this original code near the top of the file

// no direct access
defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );
?>

To this (add the stuff in red). Don’t forget to change <your-url> to your web site name!

// no direct access
defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );
if (($this->error->code) == '404') {
echo file_get_contents('http://www.<your-url>.com');
} else {
?>

Finally at the very bottom of the file add the following

<?php } ?>

You are done.

for 1.5 use http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/url-redirection/14676 for 1.6+ redirect is already included.
http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_Custom_404_Error_Page will tell you how to create the custom error page.

My initial response was an assumption that the error was happening improperly perhaps to sef issues.
