Hello everyone

I have some problems displaying custom error messages.I use IIS 5.0
and i cant get it to show the asp page that i define.I have tried several 
ways to make it work but nothing happens..The procedure i follow is like 
this:I create a directory and i place my asp error handling page in it. 
After that i define in the custom errors tab of my default web site the url
(relative) to the page i want to display for error 500-100.The message i 
get is that it cannot find the page

If anyone knows something else please let me know

Hi Lagos

1) Make sure that your IIS Error directory is a virtual directory of 
your main web site. (right click > new > virtual directory)

2) Make sure that "Show friendly http error messages" is *un-checked* in 
IE?

Any problems, let me know.

Joe

You have entered into the IIS Custom Error page an address like

	../errors/500-100.asp

rather than a full address?

I've just been down to look at how my server is configured.

I've got a folder in the root called "Errors"
In IIS -> Custom Errors, I have set:

	Type: URL
	Value: "/errors/500-100.asp"

Thinking about it - it didn't work until I placed the beginning "/" which I
wouldn't have initally done.


HTH
Craig.

You don't need the full path if you set up your error directory as a vd 
of your main website. Settings on my servers are:

/Errors/500-100.asp

Note lack of ..

This will work

You might want to try narrowing down the cause of the error.

First try:
Put your custom error page in the root of your website, and change the error
URL path in the IIS MMC Snapin to:

/myErrorPageNameHere.asp

If that still doesn't work, then you know you have something else wrong.
Unlike what Joe says, it is not necessary to put the file into a virtual
directory. Any old directory is fine, even the website's root directory.

Next try:
What happens if you type the URL directly (after placing the file in the
folder you want) eg:
http://www.mysite.com/errors/500.asp

If you can get to the page, then something is happening when an error is
raised. If you can't get to the page, then something else it up.

Continue process until you solve problem :-)

Cheers
Ken
