  Help on 404 custom

  May 01, 2017 12:56 AM|rickyJJ|LINK

  "Create a web page (Err404.aspx) with custom error message which will be displayed when a user try to access a non-existing web page"

  I created the ERR404.aspx page, now this is code when i add to be web.config file

  <configuration>
  <appSettings/>
  <connectionStrings/>
  <system.web>
  <compilation debug="true" />

  <!-- Turn on Custom Errors -->
  <customErrors mode="On"
  defaultRedirect="/nonexistingpage.aspx">
  <error statusCode="404" redirect="/Err404.aspx"/>
  </customErrors>

  </system.web>
  </configuration>

  Now my end state is to basically test the configuration when the non existing webpage by typing https://localhost/nonexistingpage.aspx

  I would appreciate any help on this issues please.

  What is your issue? What is your project type? Based on your description, it seems to be WebForm.

  I made a test with WebForm by following below steps, it works correctly.

  1. Add two pages DefaultRedirectErrorPage.aspx and Http404ErrorPage.aspx under Project Folder.

  2. Add below configuration.

    <customErrors mode="On"
          defaultRedirect="/DefaultRedirectErrorPage.aspx">
        <error statusCode="404" redirect="/Http404ErrorPage.aspx"/>
      </customErrors>

  3. Access http://localhost:2551/DefaultRedirectErrorPage.aspx, it shows DefaultRedirectErrorPage.aspx page

  4. Access http://localhost:2551/test.aspx which is not exist, it shows Http404ErrorPage.aspx.

  It would be helpful if you could share us detailed steps to reproduce your issue.
