I'm handling all the http errors manually in the Application_Error handler. Everything is fine except the 403 error(for example when navigating to the http://mysite/App_Data). The problem is that the Application_Error doesn't catch this error. Could someone tell me how to get it working? EDIT I found out that the Application_Error catches only exceptions thrown in the managed modules. Since 403 error (in my case it's 403.14) is thrown by the DirectoryListingModule which is unmanaged, this error cannot be caught by the Application_Error. Also, it might be 404.7 or 404.8 errors handled by the RequestFilteringModule(also unmanaged). The only way I found to customize the handling of these errors is to use the following settings:

I followed following link. I added following to my config file:
it is generated when the user clicks on a broken link or enters a file or folder name that does not exist in http://codehill.com/2009/01/404-and-403-error-pages-in-aspnet/ the server. And the 403 Access Denied error is generated when the user tries to access a page he/she has no permissions to. These errors can be handled by IIS or the ASP.NET website, here I will show the latter. To start handling these errors, 3 pages need to be created in the root folder of the project, one for each error and the last one will be displayed how to when an unhandled error occurs. Its always better to keep the code in these pages to a minimum and dont access databases, the file system, or any external pages. And the last thing to make sure of is anonymous users have access to these pages. To use them, they should be included in the web.config file, in the element. The mode attribute is required, and it sets whether the custom how to handle errors are enabled or not. Its third option is RemoteOnly and this will display the custom page to remote users only, i.e. if the website is accessed from the local host the customErrors element will not work. The defaultRedirect attribute sets the page that will displayed if the error occurred is not a 404 or a 403 error. 1234
