Custom 404 handling URL's with file extension

Hi,

We have an issue with redirecting to our custom 404 page when the url has file extensions.

URL's like this would work: http://www.mysite.com/nonexistentpage

But not with file extensions: http://www.mysite.com/somefolder/nonexistentfile.ext http://www.mysite.com/nonexistentfile.ext

It just goes to default Umbraco 404 page.

Can we handle this kind of 404 scenario?

Thanks in advance!

Regards, Paul

Hello Paul

have you added the path to the umbracoReservedUrls tag the web.config ?

Hi Kasper,

Thanks for the reply.

I found this forum post: https://our.umbraco.org/forum/ourumb-dev-forum/bugs/50332-Custom-404-Only-Works-for-Extensionless-and-ASPX-URLs

And this solution worked:
```
<httpErrors errorMode="Custom">
    <remove statusCode="404" />
    <error statusCode="404" path="/arbitraryPathThatDoesNotExistAndThatWillRespondWithA404" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
</httpErrors>
```
Regards, Paul
