Thanks. I did that (set in IIS7) and it's all working now. Cheers

Hi again,

Problem is back, but in a different form. If I try to visit

mysite.com/somename

I get my lovely custom 404 page. but if I visit

mysite.com/somename.aspx

I get the "this page has been left intentionally ugly" Umbraco page. Any ideas?

for anyone stuck on this, you need to remove poetpatcher info from 404handers.config. See http://our.umbraco.org/forum/templating/templates-and-document-types/13923-Unable-to-get-custom-404-page-to-work

Thanks Paul.  The poetpatcher tip helped out a bunch

Hi,

I have a different twist on this problem that I am hoping you can help with.

The umbracosettings.config is set and when I try to hit www.domain.com/somename.aspx I get the correct 404 page. However if I hit www.domain.com/somenamewithnoextension   I get the "The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable." message.

Is this an IIS setting when file extensions are missing or incomplete or is this set on the server?
Thanks
R-

I would tell to community my personal experience.

I changed /Config/umbracoSettings.config file. I set the ID of my page that will be manage Error404.

<settings>
    <content>
        <errors>
            <error404>1234</error404>
        </errors>
    </content>
</settings>

Then I try the feature.
I open /notExistsUrl and /notExistsUrl.aspx: I receive my error404 page.
I open /notExistsUrl.asp and /notExistsUrl.php: I receive IIS standard 404 error page.

I solved this issue adding this in /web.config file.

<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <httpErrors>
            <remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" />
            <error statusCode="404" prefixLanguageFilePath="" path="/error404" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
        </httpErrors>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
