Replace the last line of bootstrap.php with:

/**
* Set the production status
*/
define('IN_PRODUCTION', FALSE);

/**
* Execute the main request. A source of the URI can be passed, eg: $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'].
* If no source is specified, the URI will be automatically detected.
*/
$request = Request::instance();

try
{
    $request->execute();
}
catch (Kohana_Exception404 $e)
{
    $request = Request::factory('error/404')->execute();
}
catch (Kohana_Exception403 $e)
{
    $request = Request::factory('error/403')->execute();
}
catch (ReflectionException $e)
{
    $request = Request::factory('error/404')->execute();
}
catch (Kohana_Request_Exception $e)
{
    $request = Request::factory('error/404')->execute();
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
    if ( ! IN_PRODUCTION )
    {
        throw $e;
    }

    $request = Request::factory('error/500')->execute();
}

echo $request->send_headers()->response;

Create new controller "error.php":

request->status = 404;
        $this->request->headers['HTTP/1.1'] = '404';
        $this->request->response = 'error 404';
    }

    public function action_403()
    {
        $this->request->status = 403;
        $this->request->headers['HTTP/1.1'] = '403';
        $this->request->response = 'error 403';
    }

    public function action_500()
    {
        $this->request->status = 500;
        $this->request->headers['HTTP/1.1'] = '500';
        $this->request->response = 'error 500';
    }
} // End Error

Create two files (exception404.php и exception403.php) in "kohana" folder:

Now you can manually throw 404 and 403 errors (you can't throw error 500 ;)

throw new Kohana_Exception404;
throw new Kohana_Exception403;
