Is it possible to proceed custom error page, when all websites(not server itself!) on IIS been turned off? In our work process we need to turn off site, but users could still look at it and get ugly 404 browser screen?
Windows Server 10
IIS 7
Thank you!

I want to know when the IIS is stopped can I show a custom html page instead of 404 error message? I stop IIS with help of cmd(net stop WAS ). I have tried app_offline.htm. it works fine. But when I start deploy by stopping the IIS the html page is not shown. I have searched a lot for this. But everywhere the Q is about only stopping the site. I want to know the reason why I can't show and also if there is any solution to that please help me. I am almost new in professional line. And my senior won't believe me because I can't explain why doesn't it work.
The web page is able to be showed due to that the IIS provides the hosting service. As long as the related IIS service is stopped, these web pages no longer been served.
The blog written by IIS official shows the IIS core service used to host the web page.

Feel free to let me know if there is anything I can help with.
I have created a new asp.net website and hosted it in IIS in a web server and its opening correctly in the webserver in IE but when I open it in my local windows computer I am getting the IIS welcome page. I am not able to understand how to fix this issue. Can anyone give me some suggestions. Other websites from the same server are working correctly as expected.
similar problem:

I've developed a site in modx but after migrating it to the live server if I enter a page that doesn't exist (eg http://mysite.com/index.php?id=5) I'm getting the default IIS error page rather than the page specified in Tools->Configuration->site->Error page
Any idea why this could be happening?
For the record I developed on Apache but am deploying to IIS.
The only thing I can think of is that IIS is over-riding the modX error page somehow.
I know on Apache I can fiddle with the .htaccess file to set ErrorDocument, but I don't know how IIS works.
Perhaps previous SO questions on "custom 404 page on IIS" might give you some clues as to how your system is setup.
Trying to copy a website to a new server as the old one is dying. :(
I tried copying over the files and setting it up manually, but some specific user accounts needed to be used and the guy who set all this up left the company nearly 5 years ago. And is even worse at documentation than I am.
Anyway, at that point the ASP pages were serving, but getting errors. Ok, fine... I went back and exported the configuration from the old server (lucky that worked at all) and created a new website from that config on the new server. On the new website, from the config file, the ASP pages are giving 404 errors.
The Active Server Pages extension is enabled, and I can actually get the asp pages to serve from another website on the server... so I'm thinking it's something at the website level. No idea what though.
Any ideas?
Back when I was doing classic ASP development we used Parent Paths. This is at the top of your ASP file you'll see something like;
<!--#include file="../../resource/includes/MSSQLconnection.asp"-->
This isn't enabled by default in IIS. It may not be answer but worth looking at. But was a long time ago now.
Hope this helps,
Mike
404 is a file not found error.
Start by checking you can access a 'hello world' HTML file in the folder using http: //localhost/path/toyour/HelloWorldFile.htm
Hello World
is all you need in the file = you don't need to bother with any HTML markup to test what we're interested in.
This will check that your virtual directories, application settings etc are correct before you move on to the Active Server Page settings.
Once you've got your paths sorted out and you know you are looking for your application in the correct place move on to a 'hello world' ASP file
<%="Hello World"%>
is all you need in that file!
You ask about settings in IIS which will stop ASP from working. These come to mind as the most obvious.
Depending on the OS (or more specifically the IIS version) you may also need to activate ASP pages.
These instructions from msdn cover Windows 2003 (IIS6) and Windows 2008(IIS 7.x)
If you can get your hello world script working you can move on to debugging your application.
It will be a great help when debugging the application if you can see what's going wrong so I recommend that you turn off friendly error messages if you are using Internet Explorer. Also set IIS to pass error messages on to the browser
see:

(that may only be relevant to IIS 7.x I don't have an IIS6 installation lying around to refresh my memory.
Make sure you are browsing your application on the server using http: //localhost - this should ensure you see any errors
Good luck
Good Morning,
I was having serious problems regarding this website.
What happens is everyytime I try to open a .shtml page in the site it always has an error "The Page Cannot Be Found" but this is highly unlikely since I already all have the resources in my local pc and already did a virtual directory for the entire site. Can you please tell me what's the problem? i've checked all the codes and they're constructed just fine.
If you're attempting to view the page in Internet Explorer then I recommend turning off friendly HTTP error messages in the advanced settings. Disabling the setting may result in more verbose error messages, especially if it's an HTTP/500.
This is not actually an ASP problem. .shtml files are handled by the server-side include ISAPI application extension.
In Web service Extensions folder under the server icon in IIS manager, ensure that Server Sice Includes is set to "Allowed".
