How to add a default error page using httpErrors
asp.net, custom-error-pages, iis, visual-studio
Solution
Oh, my. I cannot believe I could not find a proper answer for this simple question! Nevertheless, after 2 hours of reading the docs and debugging, I found it.
<httpErrors errorMode="Custom" existingResponse="Auto" defaultResponseMode="ExecuteURL" defaultPath="/App/Error"> <!-- Do not include ~, this was my issue all long -->
<clear/> <!-- so that IIS provided error pages are skipped -->
<!-- add those which you like to provide a view of yours -->
<error path="/App/Http404" responseMode="ExecuteURL" statusCode="404"/>
<error path="/App/Http503" responseMode="ExecuteURL" statusCode="503"/>
</httpErrors>
Beaware that `<httpErrors>` configures IIS, while `<customErrors>` configures ASP.NET and some older versions of IIS (<=6?).
Problem
i have successfully added a custom 404 page. what I want to do is to create another custom error page that is displayed when there is any error other than 404. e.g. 500, 403 etc. this is what I have right now in webconfig ``` <httpErrors errorMode="Custom" existingResponse="Replace"> <remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" /> <error statusCode="404" path="/404.aspx" responseMode="ExecuteURL"/> </httpErrors> ```
