IIS page not found

Hello

I use asp.net and as such use a web.config file which specifies what to do incase of an error and what page to go to in relation to that error.

I have now moved the website to my own server and this is no longer working. I have found the Error pages tab but don't think this is correct as i don't want to set this up manually, I want the IIS to know there is an error and then look up the config file to see how to process it.

I assume I can update this globally under Edit Error Page Settings which allows me to set a default page. however, whilst doing so I get the message 'Lock Violation.' I ran %windir%\System32\inetsrv\appcmd unlock config -section:system.webserver/httperrors and got no where

I have also realised the title of this is wrong for the question. I'm sorry but I can't edit it!

Any ideas?

Thanks

Dave

Hi DaveRook,

I don't have much knowledge when it comes IIS7, i tumble upon the below attached articles, i hope it helps.

Thanks Sashi

I will give that a go. I'm suprised it is locked as I don't see this being a security issue (I assume that is why it is locked as default) as all it needs to do is read from the web.config file!

Thanks

Dave

Good Luck & Take care :)

Hi Dave,

Can you please clarify for me - do you mean that the <customErrors> section of your web.config is not influencing IIS?

Best,

Yes, you are correct and also explained the issue so much better than I did!

Any ideas?
