    Custom 404 Page

    Hello,

    I have setup custom error pages following the details in the link below:

    https://our.umbraco.org/wiki/install-and-setup/configuring-404-pages

    This all works fine when it is a page being requested that does not exist. This does not work however if the user is trying to access a PDF or some other file that does not exist.

    How do you go about handling such cases and redirecting to an appropriate error page?

    Thanks.

    Hi Graham,

    You should be able to add a setting in your Web.Config file that will be the response for all HTTP requests that return a status code of 404. It would look something like the following:

    <httpErrors>
    <error statusCode="404" path="/errors/404/" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />  
</httpErrors>

    You should be able to use an Umbraco page url as the path too if you wish to use the same page.

    Gary

    The following actually solved my situation...

    <httpErrors existingResponse="Replace" errorMode="Custom">
        <remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" />
        <error statusCode="404" prefixLanguageFilePath="" path="..." responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
    </httpErrors>

    ...simply adding existingResponse="Replace" errorMode="Custom" as attributes to the httpErrors element.

    This is my second time posting this in the last few minutes :-D

    Try the steps in Morten Sørensen's blog below. These steps worked for me.
