499193 - We should return a 404 for resource not found; instead, we return 500 Internal Server Error

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[Stephen Donner [:stephend]]

We currently return a 500 Internal Server Error if you hit a 404.

To reproduce, just take a valid URL and change a portion, such as a story ID that doesn't exist (found this by visiting the URL of a story I just deleted):

r48979 - Displaying the generic 404 error when an invalid story is displayed.

Ideally we could develop a custom 404 page, but fixing the error code form 500 to 404 was a quick fix.

Yes, that's already filed as bug 497992 (really like to see that fixed soon if possible; the Kohana error pages are really jarring to end-users).

Verified FIXED; http://mozillaservice.stage.mozilla.com/activity/story/98543/en_US returns a 404.  Thanks!
