Custom Error Messages

You can configure IIS to send custom error messages instead of the default HTTP 1.1 error messages. These custom error messages can be mapped to a file name or to a URL.

This section includes:

About Custom Error Messages: Conceptual information about default and custom HTTP 1.1 errors.

Adding a Custom Error Message: Procedural information about adding custom error messages to your Web site.

Enabling Detailed Custom Error Messages: Procedural information about using the detailed (or "friendly") HTTP 1.1 errors that are included with IIS.

Enabling ASP Error Processing: Conceptual information about using the 500-100.asp custom error file to process ASP errors.
