Custom Error Pages

Hi
I have created a Web.config file with theses settings:
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnl y"
defaultRedirect ="/errorpages/generic.aspx">
<error statusCode="403 " redirect="/errorpages/noaccess.aspx" />
<error statusCode="404 " redirect="/errorpages/filenotfound.as px" />
</customErrors>

If a user tries to go to a folder that does not exist then I get my default
HTML error page for directory not found.
If a user tries to go to an aspx page in a folder that does not exist that
get a horrible error page telling them that of A Runtime Error and that they
should changes the Web.config error mode to off to see the Error. How can I
make it that they go to one of my nice looking Error pages.

Thanks

Hi Kenneth,
Have u navigated to /errorpages/filenotfound.as px to
ensure that this page loads up okay by itself? You might
be getting an error because of some code on this page. To
check if this is a case, create a test "filenotfound.h tml"
and set web.config so that 404 status takes u
to /errorpages/filenotfound.ht ml instead of the aspx page.
If this works okay, u know there is something wrong with
ur particular aspx page.

The page seems to work fine but the fault occurs if you try to get to a
folder called publications
Why would this be the case.

All -- This occasionally happens, and there's no set pattern on why this is... perhaps it happens a few times every few months or so. I have a custom ATL COM object that handles data from multiple pages and sites on my server. Occasionally, I'll get the following errors: ASP_0241|CreateObject_Exception|-|ASP_0241|CreateObject_Exception|42|ASP_0177_:_c0000005|Server.CreateObject_Failed 500

I have some CGI programs that spit out error pages when the user enters illegal form input. These custom error pages, while informing the user of errors, are otherwise just standard web pages. Is there a disadvantage to not spitting out a 404 error? I assume 404 isn't just another webpage, but carries with it the information that an error occured---in so simple a manner that it could be used for e.g. link checking. TIA,

the customError feature is not working. I have it setup as the help says in my web.config file. <customErrors defaultRedirect="DsAppError.aspx" mode="RemoteOnly"/> I tried in a couple different parts of my site to throw a dummy exception and I always get to the page that says change my web.config to the statement above.

I've got a custom HttpHandler to process all requests for a given extension. It gets invoked OK, but if I try to do a Server.Transfer I get an HttpException. A Response.Redirect works, but I really need to avoid the extra round-trip to the client. I've tried Passing the page name, the full URL, and the instance of the handler class to the Transfer method, but everything gets me the same error 500. Any help would be appreciated.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
