Umbraco custom error pages - handling 404 working but 500 not
I have configured umbraco following this umbraco wiki. Handling 404 not found errors is working fine, I am ending up in the content page I specified within the "error404" tag.

In attempting to test handling http status code 500-family errors, I am forcibly dividing by zero inside a view, but I am not ending up in the content page (the same for 404) that was specified to handle 500 errors. Instead, I get a regular asp.net, with red title "Server error in "/" Application" and the yellow page stating "Attempted to divide by zero.", along with the stack.

Follows how my umbracoSettings.config looks like (the section that is supposed to configure custom error pages):
```
<errors>
  <error404>33990</error404>
  <error500>33990</error500>
</errors>
```
I am using IIS 7.5.7600.... According to the aforementioned umbraco wiki, I should add the following to my web.config, within the
```
<httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough"/>
```
Doing so, however, does not fix it.

What am I missing ?

Hi Avraham

Setting error 500 pages is not supported using this config. It's not something that is baked into Umbraco out of the box. That will require a custom error 500 handler i think. All I know is that it won't work doing it like this :)

Hi Jan,

Do you know if I can redirect a 410 error to my 404 page using the umbracosettings.config file?

Thanks

Well thanks Jan, at least I was given a definitive answer :)

Jan, I can perform a redirect to a 500 error using the approach described here in a regular asp.net mvc project, but this redirect will not work in my Umbraco site.

The redirect in my web.config needs to be to a SurfaceController? Is this supposed to work, in the first place ? Additionally, does umbraco support working with both "customErrors" and umbraco.settings errors configuration ?

I tried also Sebastiaan's solution, the redirect is not working. I now get blank pages for both my 404 and 500 errors.
