Where can i find the default htm file, mapped to show the 404 error in Sharepoint service 2.0. Currently whenever the request for a site hits the 404 error, it goes to the default page, but the point to note here is, which is not the one we set in IIS custom error option.
My requirement here is to make few modification in the 404 error page. I tried mapping the request to a custom error page with <customErros> tag in web.config. But unfortunately, its still showing the default 404 error page. When i checked the viewsource of the error page i can see some comments like, res://shdocvw.dll/http_404.htm#http://www.DocURL.com/bar.htm
Any idea about this? Thanks in advance
I haven't had to do this but this entry looks quite reasonable: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jingmeili/archive/2007/04/08/how-to-create-your-own-custom-404-error-page-and-handle-redirect-in-sharepoint-2007-moss.aspx
Basically when you install WSS it hi-jacks IIS. You can still do most of the things you would expect but you need to go through the Central Administration pages and the XML files that control many aspects of SharePoint.

Is there any way to intercept SharePoint error messages in IIS?
For example, when I type this url: https://mywebsite.com/~.aspx, SharePoint answers with its own error page that says:
Sorry, something went wrong
The file or folder name contains characters that are not permitted. Please use a different name.
I would like to intercep this error message (and all SharePoint error messages) and redirect to my own custom error page.
Please note that:
When SharePoint shows this error in its own error page, the url remains the same (https://mywebsite.com/~.aspx)
When I inspect the page (F12) in the Network tab (using Chrome) the response is 200 OK, so no SharePoint is not reporting the error number back.
I expect to be able to somehow configure IIS in order to intercept any SharePoint errors and then show a custom made page instead of showing the standard and internal SharePoint error pages.
I was getting "HTTP 403 error Microsoft Edge can’t get to this page", while launching an application from IIS in Windows 10. Please suggest a solution for this.
thanks
If all permissions are set and even though your website shows 403 forbidden, most likely the default page is not set for your website. With IIS, you can configure the default document as follows.
Connect to IIS.
Expand the sites and select the desired website.
From right hand side feature view, click on Default Document.
Set your desire default page and save the settings.
While you browse any website, IIS searches for the default page to be displayed. If the first default document is not available, IIS will look for the next default page from the list. When IIS is unable to find any match and directory listing is enabled for that particular website, IIS will show you the list of folders. If directory listing is disabled, IIS will return an HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden message to the browser.
If an empty application gives you a 403 I can think of two immediate reasons.
The permissions are wrong. You might need to give the application pool user (IIS AppPool\NAMEOFAPPPOOL with recommended configuration) read permission to the directory.
You don't have any content. If you try to access a directory in IIS you will get a 403. Add a file and try to access that directly, or a Default.aspx or index.html file to the directory you're trying to access.
I know CF 10 has a number of issues surrounding 404 handling. This seems to be different from the other reports. Details:
Win2k8 R2/64 and IIS7.5
Upgrading from identical config on separate server. Only difference is CF9 -> CF 10. All works fine on CF9. Adobe CF9 Lockdown implemented on original server, CF10 Lockdown implemented on this server.
missing template handler set in CF Admin as /404.cfm, which should translate to the Cfusion root (c:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot).
IIS has been config'd to trace failed 404 requests
IIS 404 handling is default (originally executed a CF URL but removed to simplify debug).
Coldfusion webroot where missing template handler resides is default install location
IIS site root is entirely different: c:\Other\Place\SiteRoot\
A sitewide error handler is also set in CF Admin in the same ColdFusion webroot and works as expected.
404.cfm is very simple:
<cfheader
statuscode="404"
statustext="Not Found">
<h1>404</h1><p>Page not found</p>
<cfoutput>#now()#</cfoutput>
Inputting the bad url [domain]/foo.cfm should display the above template. Instead I get an IIS error screen. The CF missing template handler is ignored. The IIS failed request trace says the url is
http://[mydomain]:80/jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll
and a detail view shows at Step 1
RequestURL="http://[mydomain]:80/foo.cfm
I've seen plenty of issues surrounding CF10 and 404's, but never that the missing template handler assignment is completely ignored. In CF9 this will generate output as expected. Anyone seen anything like this?
EDIT:
I have also tried config'ing this to match a different CF9 server I have running: Added a CF mapping to the web root of the site. Then placed the missing template handler in the web site's root rather than the CF default web root, lastly in cfadmin pointed to the missing template handler in the web site's root using the mapped folder. Same problem. Works fine in CF9 and not at all using CF10.
EDIT2:
As Miguel F pointed out in the comments, you can shut off HTML error codes in CF Admin and this will let the Missing Template Handler fire... BUT you get a 200 header to go with it. Apparently cfheader statements are ignored as I have tried placing the cfheader at the beginning and end of the template... still yields a 200. Visually fine but insofar as SEO is concerned thats a disaster. Just looked and my CF9 servers do not require this setting to be unchecked for their handlers to work.
EDIT3
Dana Kowalski's solution displays detailed IIS errors to the public, so for a 404 on, say, a made-up extension (foo.xyz), the screen will show file paths. Default behavior is to NOT display detailed errors except when running templates locally, and display custom error pages to visitors. The CF error template should work fine with that setting.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
I stepped back to ColdFusion 9 as part of debugging this problem, and may have discovered the solution while debugging a separate related issue.
In the IIS Manager, click on the site in question. Select the Error Pages option. Select the 'Edit Feature Settings' link on the right side. Check that the 'Detailed Errors' option is selected.
If you have either of the other two selected, there are times IIS 7.x will take over and not let ColdFusion handle it.
I have an umbraco 4 site that I have put a google sitemap onto. This all works fine locally but on the live server I am getting an IIS 404 error (not the umbraco 404 error) - see this link.
However if I preview the node it works fine
I have googled why I would get a 404 and so far I have come up with the following causes which I have checked and can rule out as the cause:
the template is not assigned
there are multiple nodes with the same url
Would anyone know what is causing this problem or how I could fix it?
Update
I have deleted the preview node now as I recreated the node in a different place and it worked. Would still like any thoughts on why I would get a 404 though, just in case a similar thing happens in future
Unfortunately both your links are going to the IIS error page as well as all the other errors on the site so we cant tell what you sitemap should be, see this link for tips on how to set up the 404 page http://www.simonantony.net/knowledge-base/articles/how-to-setup-a-404-error-page-on-your-umbraco-site/ .
Make sure that's working across the whole site then with you Google site map is it an XML sitemap or HTML sitemap and how have you implemented it did you use a package or made it you self.
I have a web site with a child directory set up as an application. I set up the application to use a custom 404 page. When I navigate to the url and put in a non existent page I get the following error message. Any other asp page in the application works fine. There isn't even any script in the 404 page... just plain html so I'm not sure what is causing this. I've tried creating an application pool specifically for this application but that didn't help. Thanks.
Error message: The specified request cannot be executed from current Application Pool
Try to create a registry key with the name IgnoreAppPoolForCustomErrors (type DWORD, value 1) in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\
