Describe the bug
Apache access logs record error code 500 several times per day which gets picked up in my website monitoring tools.

Website crawlers are looking for image files that no longer exist, and that results in the page "An error occurred" instead of displaying a 404 error. When I enable APP_DEBUG, it shows:

Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError
Call to a member function bind() on null

Illuminate\Support\HigherOrderTapProxy::__call
vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Support/HigherOrderTapProxy.php:34

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

input a URL for an image file that does not exist such as
http://localhost/uploads/images/gallery/2020-07-Jul/scaled-840-0/Hv00Bx6vSa7h2bUx-Membership---Pay-by-invoice.png

Expected behavior
404 error should be displayed

Screenshots

Your Configuration (please complete the following information):

Exact BookStack Version (Found in settings): v0.31.6 -
PHP Version: 7.2
Hosting Method (Nginx/Apache/Docker): Apache

Additional context
N/A

Hi @mtrayn01,
This should have been already addressed since it was raised in issue #2696, the fix of which was included in v21.04.4. I'll therefore close this off but if you continue to receive errors after upgrading to the latest BookStack version let me know and I'll close this off.

@ssddanbrown - Thanks - this fixed the issue. I was confused with version numbers as it looks like they changed format.
