Try It Out(p667) CH18

jmahdi · May 15th, 2011, 06:43 AM

I followed all the steps in this excercise, but the custom error page does not show when i request an non-available page, still gives me the "screen of death"!
what could've possibly gone wrong here?
p.s. i had compared the code with the code provided by you in the books resources folder :( thanks

sorry my mistake i should use cookies instead of profile to control theme that's why...sorry

jmahdi · May 15th, 2011, 07:15 AM

i had undone all profile association with theme and returned to original theme by cookies, but, Alas! this doesn't seem to work! help please

In that case, you need to provide more information, such as the exact error you're getting, the page you're requesting, the relevant sections of your web.config and the code you wrote in Global.asax.

Cheers,

sorry i just managed to get back to the computer now; ok, exact error is in "YSoD": Server Error in '/Site' Application.
The resource cannot be found.

The page i'm requesting: http://localhost:49642/DefaultTest.aspx

-web.config section:

Code:

<system.web>
    <customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="~/Errors/OtherErrors.aspx"
                   redirectMode="ResponseRewrite">
      <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/Errors/Error404.aspx"/>
    </customErrors>

Global.asax code is:

Code:

void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    { 
        // Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs
        if (HttpContext.Current.Server.GetLastError() != null)
        {
            Exception myException =
                        HttpContext.Current.Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException();
            string mailSubject = "Error in page" + Request.Url.ToString();
            string message = string.Empty;
            message += "<strong>Message</strong><br />" + myException.Message + "<br />";
            message += "<strong>StackTrace</strong><br />" + myException.StackTrace + "<br />";
            message += "<strong>Query String</strong><br />" + Request.QueryString.ToString() + 
                "<br />";
            MailMessage myMessage = new MailMessage("[email protected]", "[email protected]",
                mailSubject, message);
            myMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;
            SmtpClient mySmtpClient = new SmtpClient();
            mySmtpClient.Send(myMessage);
        }

thanks i n advance....

and by the way i recieve the errors by email, and when i request each error page by itself it shows on browser, of course without a specific error....thought this might helps...thanks

Imar · May 15th, 2011, 04:38 PM

This might be an obvious question, but does /Errors/Error404.aspx really exist? And if it does, what happens when you request that page in the browser directly? E.g what happens when you browse to:

http://localhost:49642/Errors/Error404.aspx

Maybe that page generates an error instead?

jmahdi · May 15th, 2011, 04:49 PM

when i browse to http://localhost:49642/site/Errors/Error404.aspx

i get this: Un unknown error occurred

An error occurred in the page you requested. The error has been logged and weâll fix it ASAP.

What is that "site" doing in your path? Your previous post seemed to suggest you have a root based site (by setting the virtual path to /).

Disable custom errors to see the real problem....
