In Varnish 3, in order to customize the error page you should customize the subroutine VCL_ERROR:
Things changes in Varnish 4, errors that occur in the backend server subroutine VCL_BACKEND_ERROR are processed used the SYNTH command in the VCL and defined by creating a specific synthetic object in the subroutine VCL_SYNTH.
Following a VCL example that generate a 404 managed by a synthetic object by invoking the following URL http://www.myservname.com:port/404 When you access to the URL, Synth (status_code, reason).
vcl 4.0;
import std;
sub vcl_recv {
if (req.url ~ "^/404") {
return (synth(999, "Generate a 404 error explicitly"));
}
}
sub vcl_backend_response {
}
sub vcl_deliver {
}
sub vcl_backend_error {
set beresp.http.Content-Type = "text/html; charset=utf-8";
synthetic( {"errors due to backend fetch"} );
return (deliver);
}
sub vcl_synth {
if (resp.status == 999) {
set resp.status = 404;
set resp.http.Content-Type = "text/plain; charset=utf-8";
synthetic(std.fileread("/tmp/vcl_404_error.html"));
return (deliver);
}
return (deliver);
}
Remember to create the error page in the correct path:
$ cat /tmp//tmp/vcl_404_error.html
errors due to vcl
