    Custom 500 Error Page

    Installing umbraco

    Is is possible to have a custom 500 error page should we have an issue with our umbraco installation?

    I have seen this post:

    http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/4919-Custom-Error-Page

    However this does not work if, for example, a critical umbraco file is missing as the default .net error page is shown. We have tried setting the following line in web.confi:

     <customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="/error.aspx">

    But this does not seem to have any effect.

    Thanks

    You may need to specifically add the 500 error to your web.config, the following goes into the system.web section:

    <error statusCode="500" redirect="/error.aspx" />

    If you are using IIS7, you may need to specify that IIS should pass the error message down to your app to handle. To do this, make sure that this setting is present under system.webserver in your web.config file:

    <httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" />

    You'll want to be really careful doing that, as it will also affect all of the other errors. I'm not entirely sure about the exact configuration for this, so tread carefully and test what you're doing. :-)

    I was trying to set error pages in umbracosettings.config and it didn´t work.

    I also tried in the tag <customErrors> of the <system.web> section. Nothing...

    Then I modified the custom Errors directly in IIS7 and I saw the results in web.config:

    Inside the <system.webServer> section:

    <httpErrors>

                <remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" />

                <error statusCode="404" prefixLanguageFilePath="" path="/page-errors/error404.aspx" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />

            </httpErrors>

     

    Now everything works as expected.

    Cheers
