To redirect 404 error pages using cPanel, you can follow these steps:
1. Log in to your cPanel: Access your hosting account and navigate to the cPanel dashboard. Usually, you can log in by appending "/cpanel" to your domain name (e.g., example.com/cpanel) or through the hosting provider's login page.
2. Locate the "Error Pages" feature: In the cPanel dashboard, search for the "Error Pages" or "Error" section. It is usually located under the "Advanced" or "Domains" category.
3. Choose the domain: If you have multiple domains or websites associated with your cPanel account, select the domain for which you want to set up the 404 redirect. Click on the appropriate domain or choose it from a dropdown menu.
4. Select the 404 error page: Look for the option to set up a custom error page for the 404 error (Page Not Found). In cPanel, this is typically labeled as "404" or "File Not Found."
5. Enter the redirection URL: In the settings for the 404 error page, you will find a field where you can enter the URL to which you want to redirect the user. Input the desired target URL in this field.
6. Save the changes: Once you've entered the redirection URL, save the changes. cPanel will then automatically redirect any requests for non-existent pages (404 errors) to the specified URL.
7. Test the redirect: To confirm that the redirect is working as intended, try accessing a non-existent page on your website. If the redirection is set up correctly, you should be redirected to the target URL you specified.
Please note that the specific steps may vary slightly depending on the version and configuration of your cPanel. If you have difficulty finding the "Error Pages" or "404" settings, you can also reach out to your hosting provider's support for assistance.
