IIS 6.0 Custom error page configuration

i have  posted the solution .....it is the answer for now ..that is the only thing worked for me.....i dont know how to make my own post as answer...

also finally, These are the things i did to make it work:


a) configured custom error page through website properties providing URL as messagetype, mapping to PageNotFound.aspx (my custom error page in  virtual foldeR).
b)also have my config settings included in webconfig as below.


               
 

Initially i was testing on "pagenotfound" --->resulted in my custom PageNotFound.aspx which i configured through website properties.

also for some reason, i have some issue in the backend ...which resulted my app to show Error.aspx.

So config settings are doing well . Finally am good with custom error pages in iis6 for now...if the same works for every1 then this will be the ans for the post. 

thanks,

 This looks like part of solution which i found ..This is the what am consdering as solution/answer for my problem..this worked for me


a)Webconfig settings for Custom errorpages has nothing to do with....this settting  never replicated the app behaviour.
b)on my website ..properties, i have applied custom errors settings ..i have mapped the .aspx from my virtual folder like this

MessageType: URL
 and URL was like  : /VirtualFolder/Website1\ErrorsFolder\ErrorPage.aspx

this worked out well ....iis 6.0 is now accepting my custom .aspx error page .

My NEXT question is ...why is the webconfig setting ignored?  what if I need some other page to be displayed for some other error code?



appreciate your time ..

Thanks,
Kumar

Hey Nair,

These tweaks didn't work out..again getting the same error...no luck this time....do u have any other clues where i can fix this? Should we configure Custom error pages in iis6.0
in some diff approach? after a lot of search i'm  here....thanks for the replies.

Hello Nair,


Thanks for the reply.


here you go, this is my config setting . This is  not working...on wserver 2003, iis6, my app is 2.0 .

Thanks,
Kumar


customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="/Errors/Oops.aspx" redirectMode="ResponseRedirect">
              

 can you post the web.config entry.

 use attribute redirectMode="ResponseRedirect" for .aspx file.

 or instead of 404.aspx use an static .html file.

 or use mode="On".
