Getting issue related to page:

If we hit invalid page(not existing) in browser through parent page like: /Article/1234124

Then it alway redirect to article page. Is there any setting in dnn to point this page to 404 page 

Thanks in advance

Side question. We have some issues with users that post in the "wrong" forum.
Did you see that this was in the "About this website" forum? (I'll move it to the right forum now)

 

 

Given that the URL is /Article/1234124, I would guess that this is one of those dynamically generated pages, and that the article (1234124) is really treated as a querystring parameter, and that the actual URL is something like

/article?articleid=1234124

So, when this gets processed at the article page, there is no match to the parameter, so the article is not injected into the page, and the module displays the unmodified page.

In other words, there isn't a missing child page. Instead, there is a parameter that's passed to the page, it doesn't exist, so the module on that page does something else.

I'm not sure how this should be handled, but the behavior described of showing the unmodified article page is one way to do it. Another way would be to post an error to the page saying something like "the article you have requested doesn't exist." A third way to do this would be to redirect to a 404 page. But, these choices or another is a module's responsibility, not DNN's.

That's the way I understand it, and it's they way that a blog module that I use on several sites works.

Another way to handle this can be to add a new URL rewrite rule in DNN (SiteUrls.config) or the web.config.
