662343 - Spark EOL: Handle 404s Properly

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Websites :: spark.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Ryan Snyder [:ryansnyder] [:rsnyder] [:rysny]]

We need to handle 404 errors properly in the Spark EOL site. 

1. Visit a valid url on the production website, i.e.:
https://spark.mozilla.org/en-US/global

2. Visit that same url on the stage website, i.e.:
http://spark.allizom.org/en-US/global

3. You'll see a 500 Internal Server error.

We need to either redirect the user back to the homepage, or to display a 404 error page to the user.

For the mobile site, a 404 page does display at:
https://spark.allizom.org/en-US/m/global

But the "Go to the homepage >" link does not actually return the user to the homepage.

The user is now redirected to the homepage when the requested URL doesn't exist.
