Getting Custom Error Docs to Work

[Mike Legg]

Is there a trick to getting Custom error documents to work?

I want visitors to be redirected to my homepage if they try to access a missing file.

I've enabled custom error documents, added /index.html as the custom 404 error file and I've restarted IIS.
I've even paded out the index.html with comments to make it larger (3k)

But when I type a non-existent url in my browser I still get the standard IIS error page.

I've run out of ideas.

Hello Mike,

If its a IIS7 server then make sure you have enabled Custom Error Document in Plesk as well as in IIS under "Error Pages" other wise your custom error page will not load.

Hello Mike,

Following are steps to disable detail errors in IIS7 :

On your server open IIS > click on web site at left pane > at right pane it will show all features > click on Error Pages > now at right most column, under Actions section click on "Edit Feature Settings..." > a pop up window will open > on this window you will find three options :
1. Custom error pages
2. Details errors
3. Details errors for local requests and custom error pages for remote requests

select first option "Custom error pages" and click Ok
