Custom Error IIS V6.0

Apologies i'm new to IIS stuff.

I've been asked to take a website off-line temporarily which throws
back a "HTTP 400 - Bad Request
Internet Explorer" error message when someone tries to browse to it.
However the clients want a more aesthetically pleasing error message.
Our marketing guys have designed a simple html page and i've amended
the Cutom Error tab on the website in IIS to point to the new html
file. I've re-started IIS but the new custom error does not display
and all we get is the standard IIS 400 bad request.

The site is published through MS ISA 2004 web publishing rule.

Should there be anything else i need to do withing IIS? Could ISA be
caching a copy somewhere and if so how do i refresh?

Regards
Nik

RE: Custom Error IIS V6.0

Hi,

Did you set it in Web Site(Root)'s Properites > Custom error or in that
particular stopped web site's properties?

other way to do this is to create mirror site of stopped site for the time
being and set your customised page as default page on that site.

Hi,

I set it in that particular stopped Website.
I may have found the problem whilst looking elsewhere. The custom
error does not work for ASPX pages so i may need to amend the website
webconfig file? Can
anyone verify this?

Re: Custom Error IIS V6.0

Hi,

You have set this custom error page in web sites(on root)'s properties
instead of the the stopped site's properties.

also you wont be able to set aspx as custom error page, it can only have
static htm pages, if you still want to set .net app then you should consider
the second option i had suggested in my previous post.

Thank you, I have thrown this one back to the Developers. I was way
out of my depth anyway! :)

Re: Custom Error IIS V6.0

You cannot customize the 400 error, which may explain why you cannot get it
to work the way you want.
