The customErrors element can be defined at any level in the application file hierarchy. Copy Attributes and Elements The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements. Attributes Attribute Description defaultRedirect Optional attribute. Specifies the default URL to direct a browser to, if an error occurs. When this attribute is not specified, a generic error is displayed instead. The URL can be absolute (for example, www.contoso.com/ErrorPage.htm) or relative. A relative URL, such as /ErrorPage.htm, is relative to the Web.config file that specified the URL for this attribute, not to the Web pag
you're not alone. It's surprisingly difficult to do this correctly, not helped by the fact that some errors are handled by ASP.NET and others by IIS. Ideally (and I expect such is the case http://benfoster.io/blog/aspnet-mvc-custom-error-pages with some other frameworks/servers) we would just configure our custom error pages in one place https://tedgustaf.com/blog/2011/custom-404-and-error-pages-for-asp-net-and-static-files/ and it would just work, no matter how/where the error was raised. Something like: Custom 404 error pages When a resource does not exist (either static or dynamic) we should return a 404 HTTP status code. Ideally we should return something a little friendlier to our custom error site visitors than the error pages built in to ASP.NET/IIS, perhaps offering some advice on why the resource may not exist or providing an option to search the site. For the purposes of this blog post, my custom 404 page is very simple, but you can see some really nice examples here.
404 Page Not Found 404 Page Not Found
custom error page I created a new ASP.NET MVC 5 application using the standard template in Visual Studio. If I run the site and try to navigate to a resource that does not exist e.g. /foo/bar, I'll get the standard ASP.NET 404 page with the following information: Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly. Requested URL: /foo/bar Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.33440 Not exactly friendly, is it? In this case the error was raised by ASP.NET MVC because it could not find a matching controller and/or action that matched the specified URL. In order to set up a custom 404 error page add the following to web.config inside
:
I've set mode="On" so we can view the custom errors pages locally. Generally you would only want to display these in production so would set mode="RemoteOnly". Now if I navigate to /foo/bar once more I see my custom error page. However, the URL is not /foo/bar as I'd expect. Instead ASP.NET issued a redirect to /404.html?aspxerrorpath=/foo/
we use for custom 404 and other error pages for ASP.NET websites running on IIS 7+. 12 May 2011 0 Share it: We want custom 404 and other error pages I post this to remind myself how we got this working for both ASP.NET and static files, both for remote and local requests on IIS 7 and IIS 7.5. over in web.config is a construct for specifying custom error pages for requests handled by ASP.NET. In other words, static files such as HTML files or directory (“friendly”) URLs are not handled. configures error pages in IIS itself, outside the web application. This handles all requests, whether they’re in fact handled by ASP.NET or IIS natively. We ignore customErrors altogether and only use httpErrors. Displaying a static HTML file This is useful for error codes such as 500 where the ASP.NET web application in itself may suffer problems: Displaying an ASP.NET page This displays an ASP.NET page when a 404 error occurs, without rewriting the URL (the visitor will still see the requested URL in the address bar): Note that we skip the element and simply remove the standard 404 handling (in order to avoid an exception caused by duplicate elements for the 404 status code). Redirecting to another URL ExecuteURL can only be used to execute an ASP.NET file within the same application. If we want to redirect to another application, or possibly an entirely different external URL, we use the Rewrite response mode with an absolute URL: Make sure HTTP errors is enabled in IIS For this to work you have to make sure the HTTP Errors feature is installed for IIS, otherwise you’ll just get an empty 404 response: More on httpErrors You can find more information on IIS.net or on MSDN.
