IIS page not found

[DaveRook]

Hello

I use asp.net and as such use a web.config file which specifies what to do incase of an error and what page to go to in relation to that error.

I have now moved the website to my own server and this is no longer working. I have found the Error pages tab but don't think this is correct as i don't want to set this up manually, I want the IIS to know there is an error and then look up the config file to see how to process it.

I assume I can update this globally under Edit Error Page Settings which allows me to set a default page. however, whilst doing so I get the message 'Lock Violation.' I ran %windir%\System 32\inetsrv\appc md unlock config -section:system. webserver/httperrors and got no where

I have also realised the title of this is wrong for the question. I'm sorry but I can't edit it!

Any ideas?

Thanks

Dave

Hi DaveRook,

I don't have much knowledge when it comes IIS7, i tumble upon the below attached articles, i hope it helps.

Thanks Sashi

I will give that a go. I'm suprised it is locked as I don't see this being a security issue (I assume that is why it is locked as default) as all it needs to do is read from the web.config file!

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Can you please clarify for me - do you mean that the <customErrors > section of your web.config is not influencing IIS?

Best,

Yes, you are correct and also explained the issue so much better than I did!

Any ideas?
