since we are relaunching our site as we move from our old classic asp cms to umbraco (currently v4.0.21) and have a custom http error management solution i wondered if there is any way to bypass the umbraco built-in 404 error page and use the default IIS error page instead. Any ideas?
you could use a template that calls the default page with a Server.Transfer command. It really depends on the reasoning behind calling something outside of umbraco.
Another option is to move your 404 pages into umbraco, and map IIS to those pages.
Thanks for your replies, most likely we'll use the Server.Transfer method, so we don't have to port everything to asp.net (currently it is written in classic asp and working perfectly, maybe we'll switch to asp.net when we have some spare time left).
How to use ASP.NET functionality on 404 error
Hi,

See, title ain't correct. It's the IIS functionality i want to use.
