It is to my understanding that it is https://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/80cb8d8d-8fd8-4af5-bb3b-4d11fff3ab9c.mspx done as follows, however, doesn't work for me and I am not sure what I am missing. Please advise. (1) start --> administrative tools -- iis mgr (2) Expand the local serve to see all files --> expand wesites (yes, we have multiple) --> right click on your website --> click properties (3) Click Custom Errors -- > Pick the error you want to customize(for me is 404 https://forums.iis.net/t/prev/1182062 page not found)--> click edit (4) pick your message type from a drop down list --> I picked from file --> click the browse button and picked the file I wanted to displeay instead to the standare 404 page not found message. I does not show & yes I did click apply to apply the changes I made. (5) When step 4 did not work I attempted to redirect to the url since this page is on a site. However, it tells me I am using the wrong url format. Can anyone please explain to me where I am going wrong. I have tried multiple url formats and have had no success Kindest regards, Joseph Reply StormInterne... 226 Posts Re: Custom error redirect not working Oct 01, 2011 12:58 PM|StormInternet|LINK Hello Joseph, If you have placed your own custom page say new404.html in your web root then select message type as file and just put following in File option : /new404.html instead full path of new404.html IIS error 404 custom 404 - Not Found page Sam F Professional UK Web Hosting - http://www.storminternet.co.uk/hosting_windows_compare.asp LifeTime Hosting - Pay for a period of two years and get it FR
