Modx error page won't display - iis

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.

Traffic on my homepage is redirected to another site

I think my website has been hacked.
Some users reported redirects from my home page to another website.
The problem only concerns the home page and not the other pages.
Also, when I type www.domain.com/index.php there is no problem. But when I type "www.domain.com" I find myself on another website.
My site has been hard-coded with an obsolete PHP version (5.3) and hosted by OVH on a shared server.
Can anyone help me identify the problem?

When IIS is stopped how to show Custom html page

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.

Asp.net website developed using kentico cms causing "www" prefix issue

We are facing a weird issue specific only on one website even though we are hosting more than 150 websites on same server using Kentico CMS 11.
We have turned on "www" prefix settings from Kentico -> Urls & SEO for all the websites and all these sites are working without any issue.
But there is a specific website on which all the requests are getting redirected to home page if try to access with "www" prefix.
I have tried checking at code level and could not find any issue. If it would be code issue then it should appear for other websites as well.
We are using Azure app service for hosting our application so I have checked in application insight as well and could not get any lead as all the request which are logged for this specific websites are of home page.
Please help me in understanding if I need to see through this issue at some other place. I have checked with Client's IS team and they could not find any DNS settings difference when compared to other websites which are working fine.
Please check the web.config file of this site. It may contain a wrong URL redirect associated with "www" so that probably this redirect just cuts all the path from URL.

favicon.ico not supported under Windows IIS

We have a problem under Microsoft IIS. People are not able to request the favicon through the browser. We checked all the coding of the website we are hosting on it and it is all fine. Problem is that the icon file seems to be blocked in general for the outside world:
Icon location: http://www.raakbeleving.nl/favicon.ico (gives 404)
Anybody any clue what could make this happen?
Our hosting provider cannot seem to solve the problem.
Thanks in advance.
See this page for a way to set up the content type in IIS 7.
Here there are a number of additional hints for it..
MS IIS Manager version 1809 includes a MIME type of .ico
**To Clarify the Problem: **
I have my favicon.ico in the root directory of my application which has an alias name of the website. I have run the same html through a number of servers. Each one looks for the favicon.ico, finds it, and uses it.
When you access a website without a favicon.ico, the icon on the browser tab for that site will have a browser default icon. The favicon.ico, when it exists, will replace that tabl icon with a custom one. I have found a lot of sites that discuss how MS IIS does not support favicon.ico.

ASP Pages not rendering properly

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".
