How do I force redirect all 404's (or every page, whether invalid or not) to the homepage?

Question

Currently every invalid page is 500 (Internal Server Error) because I probably messed up with my server block configuration.

I decided to shut down my website a whil

Hi first there are a lot of different ways to redirect all the 404 to the home page this helps you in SEO make such u use

 fastcgi_intercept_errors on;

than add this following to your config

        error_page 404 =301 http://yourdomain.com/;
    error_page 403 /error403.html;
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
            root /var/www/html;
