Custom http errors

[Ron Vecchi]

I am using a custom http error redirect in my web.config (404)


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



It works when someone enters http://www.mydomain.com/myfolder/mypage.aspx
the redirect works fine.

But if someone enters http://www.mydomin.com/myfolder/
it doesn't work.


Neither the folder or the aspx page exist.
and both produce a 404 error.

Ron,

That's because the request is never making it to the ASP.NET engine since a
handled file extension is not present in the requested URL. The simplest
workaround is to configure IIS to use your page for 404 errors.

HTH,
