404 Custom errors not shown for aspx extensions - iis

I created a 404.html page and set it in Error Documents. It works well for everything except aspx pages. How can I redirect those pages also?
Thanks

As far as I know, if you want to show custom 404 error in asp.net web form application, you should use the asp.net custom error page not IIS error page.
About how to set it ,you could refer to below config.
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="On" >
<error statusCode="404" redirect="error.html"/>
</customErrors>
</system.web>
Notice: The error.html should put in your asp.net web applicaton's root path.
More details,you could refer to below article:

How to show custom error page instead of iis 403 error page?

my web.config :
<customErrors mode="Off" redirectMode="ResponseRewrite" defaultRedirect="~/Pages/Error/DefaultError.aspx">
<error statusCode="404" redirect="~/Pages/Error/Page404.aspx" />
<error statusCode="500" redirect="~/Pages/Error/DefaultError.aspx" />
</customErrors>
<httpErrors existingResponse="Replace" defaultResponseMode="ExecuteURL" errorMode="Custom"> //also used other options for existingResponse
<remove statusCode="403"/>
<error statusCode="403" path="~/Pages/Error/PI403.aspx" responseMode="ExecuteURL"/>
</httpErrors>
and here is my Application_error method in the global.asax.cs file:
Server.ClearError(); //clear the error so we can continue onwards
var errorPage = "~/Pages/Error/DefaultError.aspx";
var httpException = ex as HttpException;
if (httpException != null && httpException.GetHttpCode() == (int)HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
{
errorPage = "~/Pages/Error/Page404.aspx";
}
Response.Redirect(errorPage);
I have the Logs file in the project but this file uses just logging. If I use myURL/Logs browser link, I get IIS 403.14 error page. If I write myURL/asdeds, I get my custom error page (does not existing something like that in my project). Because the 403 exception does not trigger Application_Error. I want to show my custom error page for all exceptions. I should see my custom error page when I write myURL/Logs to URL part.
and also I set TrySkipIisCustomError property in the Application_BeginRequest
HttpContext.Current.Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true;
Since the 403.14 - Forbidden error is the IIS error not the asp.net error. It use the StaticFile http handler not the asp.net http handler. So the Application_error will not be fired when you faced this error.
The only way to modify the custom error page is using IIS custom error page.
As Lex says, the IIS custom error page not support "~". It will auto match your web application root path. So you could use below config setting.
<httpErrors existingResponse="Replace" defaultResponseMode="ExecuteURL" errorMode="Custom"> //also used other options for existingResponse
<remove statusCode="403"/>
<error statusCode="403" path="/Pages/Error/PI403.aspx" responseMode="ExecuteURL"/>
</httpErrors>
Also you could open IIS mangement console and use UI window to modify the setting.
First you must go to IIS
select configuration editor like this:
In the page that opens, open section combo box and select httpErrors
In the page that opens, unlock defaultPath
Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 for your application on IIS
Go to Error Pages of your application
Select 403 error and edit it. in the page of edit action you can select Respond with a 302 redirect and type custom error page address in Absolute URL text box.
Do not forget, this operation is performed on the server. Now if a request sent to the server (smp:https :// yoursite.com/scripts) And if you get error 302, the page you want will open.

static HTML site on Azure; 500.19 error; configuration section 'customerrors' cannot be read be read...missing a section declaration

I have inherited the occasional duties for updating my agency website. The website is a very basic, static HTML site that runs on Azure. Only gets updated with new PDF documents. A few weeks ago I got notified by some security people wanting the website to NOT display a yellow screen of death and instead only show a generic 500 status page. The yellow screen of death says that the web.config file can be modified to do this. OK, fine by me.
After looking it appears I don't have a web.config file so I created one but when I copy it via FTP to my Azure account it immediately kills the website. After looking in the error logs in Azure I see that there is a "500.19 error; configuration section 'customerrors' cannot be read be read...missing a section declaration".
Here is my web.config file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customerrors mode="off" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
Any ideas on what is going on? Thanks!
To handle 500 errors, aka Yellow Screens of Death, the following is added to the web.config, again shown as a config transformation.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="500.aspx" redirectMode="ResponseRewrite" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes">
<error statusCode="500" redirect="500.aspx" xdt:Transform="Insert" />
</customErrors>
</system.web>
</configuration>
The 500.aspx page added to the site root contains the following markup at the top of the file:
<%
Response.StatusCode = 500;
Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true;
%>
Note: This is not ideal for a multi-site environment where the 500 page should be site-specific. To account for this, add logic to the 500.aspx page to transfer requests appropriately given the hostName requested.

SharePoint error

I have a Sharepoint site and today when I try to login to the site it gives me the following error
Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error Description:
An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details:
To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
I've got to change this file:
You may also need edit the web.config in the layouts folder of the SharePoint root:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\web.config
And set
<customErrors mode="Off" />
Change the following in web.config and you will be able to see the detailed error.
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
and
CallStack="true"
Make sure you do this in all the WFEs. You will see detailed error. Once you have the detail error, post it here and we will be able to helop you more.
Set the custom error mode to remote only in your web.config file and try browsing the site again. This time you will get the detailed error with the stack trace. You can proceed from there.
Restart your server then try... Because in my case during I install visual studio on my server system, i can't access my site and i got same error what you posted in above, after restarted my server its works fine. that's why i am saying like that...
What i thought is, actually that time the IIS was disturbed by some other installation program.

404 page in Umbraco?

I installed Umbraco 4.5 and it is running fine. one thing i cant get to work though, is the 404. When it hit a page that does not excist it shows the default IIS7 404 page, and not the built-in umbraco 404 page.
So i am asuming it is a setting in the iis i have to change - but which?
Copy from http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/8244-IIS7--404:
Basically, you need to add
<location path="Site Description">
<system.webServer>
<httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" />
</system.webServer>
</location>
to your applicationHost.config file where "Site Description" is the name of your site in IIS7.
The applicationHost.config file is located in: system32\inetsrv\config
Edit:
As stated in the comments if this answer, you should add this section in your web.config instead which is way better, you should always avoid altering config files outside your own application that may affect other applications.
in config/umbraco.settings you can set the umbraco page to load for custom 404
<errors>
<!-- the id of the page that should be shown if the page is not found -->
<!-- <errorPage culture="default">1</errorPage>-->
<!-- <errorPage culture="en-US">200</errorPage>-->
<error404>1296`</error404>`
</errors>
The page error page ID goes between the <error404> & </error404> tags.

web.config ignores customerrors="on" attribute

Hi I've got a site where I get the classic:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
The problem is that although I change CustomErrors to On I can't see the error, and the xml of the web.config is not malformed since I've tried inducing this error and IIS told me, so it must be something else, but what should I look for?
Edit
I Should mention, that I only get this error when I publish my site, web.config doesn't return an error locally, only when I upload to production. I can't even get an html page to display, it still returns the web config error to me
If your using a web.config then I am assuming that you have an ASP.Net application. The web.config stores configurational data for a .NET application. If you don't create an application within your virtual directory then you will see the error you are because there is no application for IIS to serve. This link should help.
