Question How to have more (numerous and) detailed Custom Error pages in Plesk ?

[Alex Laforge]

Hi,

In plesk 12.5, there are only 14 default customizable Error pages.
I know how to customize them in the "Default Host Template" (usually located in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\.skel\0\httpdocs)

But I have noticed that Microsoft did a "better" job by providing more detailed error custom pages, relating to each error code (using "subStatusCode"), located in :

• C:\inetpub\custerr\en-US

• C:\inetpub\custerr\fr-FR

They provide 56 custom error pages (for example 500.htm, 500-13.htm, 500-14.htm, 500-19.htm, 500-100.htm, and so on).
It would be great if there were a way to use these custom detailed error pages when Plesk generates a new website from this template.

I can create these files into the "Default Host Template" folder, and thy will be copied with every new website. BUT : Plesk only creates 14 rules for its default 14 files in the "web.config" file, always with subStatusCode set to "-1".

How can I have Plesk to generate more rules in the "web.config" file with the detailed subStatusCode, without having to painfully adding my additional files rules , and without having to edit each file for the @domain_name@ placeholder that will obviously remain blank ?

Hi Igor, that's done !

Heye is the feature suggestion : Please vote if you find it useful. I think it actually IS !

Actually, I am writing a custom VbScript task that is launched by the Plesk "Event Manager" on every "Domain created" event.

My custom VBScript task consists in determining the proper /error_docs/ folder (in the case of this domain is a subdomain created under the "main domain" folder), and replaces the @domain_name@ placeholder inside all my 56 customized error pages coming fro the "Virtual Host Template" located under /.skel/0.

Then, it creates the appropriate rules inside the "web.config" file, by dropping the Plesk-generated ones, and adding mines, in the following section "<configuration><system.webServer><httpErrors>". Plesk could greatly automate this process, so please vote for this suggestion here !

Hi, So : My VBScript to customize the error pages works well when I launch it from the command-line manually, under the "Administrator" account.

But when this task is launched by a Plesk "Event Handler" under "Plesk Administrator" user (psaadm), it fails.

Examining the "Security" permission on the c:/inetpub/vhosts folder, it seems that "psaadm" does not have any permissions to the newly created websites (example.com).
I have tried to "Enable Permissions Inheritance" on the c:/inetpub/vhosts folder, but the result is the same : Every new domain does not have any permissions set for "psaadm".

I'm stuck, and having to launch my custom Script file manually makes the Plesk Event Manager useless...

- So how can these new domains folders have permissions for the "psaadm" user ? The Event Manager becomes useless ... :-(
- Or how can these Plesk Event Handler be run under a more powerful user (Administrator" for example) ?

Any help would be greatly (really!) appreciated Thank you ..
