Hi,
since the last update to joomla 3.8.4, I can not redirect 404 page to a SEF URL.
i get the error:

Alias %s already exists as an alias, or as a SEF url. It was not stored into the aliases database

I purge the safe URLs and clear cache but the problem is still there.
My site
https://www.xxxx.com

Hi

1 - I have tested this with latest sh404SEF and Joomla 3.8.4 on another site and could not find any issue.
2 - The message is correct, sort of, because the alias actually already exists. But there is a problem with the leading /

What's happening here is that the display of the 404 is incorrect. This URL request had a double slash (//en/shared-shuttle-orly-disney.html) when it was requested and older versions of sh404SEF did not record the initial slash in 404s. This is now fixed and the 404s but the alias already in place was for the old way of recording.

Long story short: after deleting the existing alias
[xxxx]
and trying again, it works fine this time.
