Custom Error Page Iis 7.5
Home > Tech Hub > How To Set Up Custom Error Pages In IIS 7.5 With ASP.NET How To Set Up Custom Error Pages In IIS 7.5 With ASP.NET by Jamie Furr on June 21, 2012 This blog post will explain how to configure custom error pages in IIS (Internet Information Server). For this example we will be using IIS 7.5 which shipped with Windows Server 2008 R2. If we configure .NET Error Pages at the site level, ASP.NET stores the settings in the site's web.config file. Since these settings are stored in the web.config file they are portable and can be easily moved to another server with the site's content. How to setup Custom Error Pages in IIS 7.5 Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. Select your website. Note: This could also be set at the server level and applied to all sites on the server. DoubleClick on the ".NET Error Pages" icon. The .NET Error Pages features view will be displayed. Click the "Edit Feature Settings" link to enable this feature. The "Edit Error Page Settings" dialog box will appear. In order to change the default mode, we must also specify a "Default Page". This page will be used for all status codes that are not otherwise defined. In our example we are using a generic custom error page to trap all other errors. Once you enter the absolute URL for the default error page click OK. Note: It may be a good idea to use a static HTML page here just in case ASP.NET is not functioning properly. By default server errors are shown when logged on locally to the IIS server and custom errors will only be used from remote sessions. We will want to change this to "On" if we are logged on locally to the IIS server. Otherwise, it will display detailed server errors, and not our custom error pages. Next we will explicitly define the 404 Error code. To get the browser to throw a 404 error, we pointed it to a file on the test site that does not exist. As you can see in the following image the friendly HTTP 404 error page was shown in IE9. A friendly HTTP 404 Error in IE9: On the .NET Error Pages Actions menu click the Add link. The "Add Custom Error Page" dialog will appear. This is where we define individual error pages per status code. For our example we will add a c

Custom error messages let you provide a friendly or a more informative response by serving a file, returning another resource, or redirecting to a URL when visitors to your site cannot access the content they requested. For example, you might want to customize each of the error message pages for your Web site to have the same look and feel as the rest of your site. The element contains a collection of elements, each http://www.sherweb.com/blog/how-to-create-custom-error-pages-in-iis-7-5-with-asp-net/ of which defines an error message that IIS uses to respond to specific HTTP errors. You can add custom error messages to IIS by adding an element to the element in the Web.config file for your site, application, or URL. Each element uses the responseMode attribute to specify whether IIS serves static content, dynamic content, or redirects to a separate URL in response to an error. You can use the https://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/httperrors element to remove a specific error message from the collection of error messages your site or application inherits from a higher level in the IIS configuration hierarchy. Also, you can use the element to remove all HTTP error messages from the collection of HTTP error messages that your site or application inherits. The element also contains attributes that configure IIS 7 to process requests that cause errors. The existingResponse attribute defines what IIS 7 does to an existing response when the server returns an HTTP error status code. The defaultPath attribute defines the path to a customer error page if you choose specify File for the responseMode attribute in an element. The detailedMoreInformationLink attribute specifies a link to more information about a particular error. The element also can contain an errorMode attribute that you can use to control the level of detail that IIS returns to a browser when an HTTP error occurs. You can set the errorMode attribute to DetailedLocalOnly, which is the default setting, or you can set it to Custom or Detailed. If you specify DetailedLocalOnly, or if you do not specify an errorMode value, IIS returns detailed error information only to the browser on the local server and a custom error message to a browser on an externa

I understand the options, but I am wondering why with the following web.config file, iis is not executing the URL if the errorMode is set to detailed? It simply gives me the detailed 404 error page rather than executing the URL. When I change the errorMode to Custom, then iis executes the URL and everything works except displaying any asp erro
