Event::override not working for 500 events

[tester5]

I am able to use the Event::Override function successfully with the 404 event but not the 500 event. I simply wish the event to redirect to the front page with a flash message, as I am able to do fine with 404 events.

Is there something else I need to do to get the 500 events also redirecting to my front page? see code below in routes.php file:

Event::listen('404', function() {
return Response::error('404');
});

Event::listen('500', function() {
return Response::error('500');
});

Event::override('404', function() {
Session::flash('error', 'Error 404 - Not Found. The page you are looking for is either invalid or may no longer exist. You are now back at our home page.');
return Redirect::to_route('home');
});

Event::override('500', function() {
Session::flash('error', 'Error 500 - Internal Server Error. Something went wrong on our servers, apologies for that. Please contact us if this persists.');
return Redirect::to_route('home');
});

I'm not sure if this is an issue or something I've missed. If it's not an issue, I'd be grateful for some link highlighting how this should be done, or a quick one liner.

many thanks.

Sure you work with Laravel 4?

Hi, I'm working with Laravel 3 still. The Event::override works nicely with 404 events, but not 500 events :0
have you got custom 500 error views working properly so 500 errors do not route to the default 500 error view? if so, I'd be very grateful in knowing how you did it.

Please post your problem on the L3 repo and close this issue, this is the L4 one :)
