    404 not working

    Hi,

    I've recently been working on our new site and I set up the 404 with no problems in either the 'localhost' or test server applications. However, after launching website to main URL, I can see that the custom 404 is not working.

    I just get this "The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."

    I read something on the documentation about needing to refresh the app pool. How do I this manually? - is this even the issue?!

    Thank you!

    Elliott

    Hi Elliott,

    It could be that IIS is preventing the custom 404 page showing up. Try adding the following to the

    <httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" />
    

    Adding this and saving the Web.Config should also refresh the app pool. Remeber to ensure the Web.Config is valid before you save it, so no duplicate elements.

    Don't forget to set trySkipIisCustomErrors to true in umbracoSettings.config
