Error 404 pages - Sitefinity - Bugs & Issues

Hello
I'm using IIS6 and have sitefinity 6.1 site on it.
When some user write fake path in url like /dsafsdafsdasdffsd , the iis throws iis exception Failed to Execute URL.
So I wrote function in global.asax that catches that error and redirects them to error page:

void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)

HttpContext.Current.ClearError();

Response.Redirect("~/en/page404");

That works for fake page like /dsafsdafsdasdffsd , but page /en/dfsdfdsddfasds show blank page with no content(not even html tags).
I know upper exception is iis issue, but I think /en/dfsdfdsddfasds page is sitefnity issue. Is there any solution?

Hello,

You need to add the following settings in your web.config file:

<configuration>

<system.web>

<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="/error-pages/default-error">

<error statusCode="404" redirect="/en/page404.html" />

</customErrors>

</system.web>

</configuration>

<configuration>

<system.webServer>

<httpErrors errorMode="Custom" defaultResponseMode="File" existingResponse="Replace">

<remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" />

<error statusCode="404" path="/en/page404.html" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />

</httpErrors>

</system.webServer>

</configuration>

If a user enter an invalid address, he/she will be redirected to the page that you have point above.

Let me know whether the proposed solution helps.
