I have recently moved host and have had to set up Customer Errors again in IIS.
I can go to IIS Admin and Error Pages as follows:
Then I can go to the Custom Errors, and have set up the options as follows:
That creates my web.config file as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<httpErrors errorMode="DetailedLocalOnly" defaultResponseMode="ExecuteURL">
<remove statusCode="500" subStatusCode="100" />
<remove statusCode="500" subStatusCode="-1" />
<remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" />
<error statusCode="404" prefixLanguageFilePath="" path="/error_404.asp" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
<error statusCode="500" prefixLanguageFilePath="" path="/error_500.asp" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
<error statusCode="500" subStatusCode="100" path="/error_500.asp" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
</httpErrors>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
When I test the pages, the 505 error works fine, and redirects to the right page, but the 404 doesn't redirect and returns the standard IIS 404 error. I have confirmed that the 404 error page is in place on the server in the correct location.
I can't see what else I need to do.
Got it working in the end (helped by finding this: http://forums.iis.net/t/1173965.aspx), using:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<httpErrors errorMode="Custom" defaultResponseMode="ExecuteURL">
<remove statusCode="500" subStatusCode="100" />
<remove statusCode="500" subStatusCode="-1" />
<remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" />
<error statusCode="404" path="/error_404.asp" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
<error statusCode="500" prefixLanguageFilePath="" path="/error_500.asp" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
<error statusCode="500" subStatusCode="100" path="/error_500.asp" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
</httpErrors>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
