instead of loading 404 it loads source of my page

yep, that's correct. It shows the source or the attached screen

All I am trying to do is redirect a bad url to a custom 404.html page I've created


this is my web.config

Code:

<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="~/error.aspx" redirectMode="ResponseRewrite" >
      <error statusCode="404" redirect="404.html"/>
    </customErrors>

and I have setup both error pages in IIS to redirect to 404.html

can someone explain?

thanks

 

Try reading this thread from our forum and follow these instructions carefully to customize your error page...

njeayaah...kinda sorta

I followed those steps and it did not have any affect at all. Recycled app pool etc etc

It wasn't until I went to the ASP.NET Error Pages module and added a new status code 404 and did a redirect to the 404.html did it work. From what I read in those step that is not what it was saying to do.

Anyway, it is now working. thanks anyway
