customError only works for .aspx files?

[John Knoop]

Hi

I've designed my own 404 not found error page. And it works fine if I type
in this URL:

www.mydomain.com/doesntexist.aspx

However, if I type in:

www.mydomain.com/doesntexist.html

then I get the usual standard error message. How can I overcome this?

Hi

Unfortunately I down't haev access to the IIS mmc console, since my website
is located on a web hotel to which I connect via FTP. Is there no other way?
Maybe something I can do in web.config?

What's happening in your case is that the 404 error handler is not being
handled by ASP.NET, because the file extension (.html) is handled by IIS. In order to cover your bases for both .NET and non-.NET extensions, you should declare a handler at the IIS level via the IIS mmc console (Right-click
website, select Properties, then the Custom Errors tab).
