Handle 404 error on SP2010 sub site

Question

Hi,

We are running a SharePoint 2010 publishing portal. We have configured for the handling of 404 error to redirect to a custom page at the IIS level and it works perfectly.

But we would like to redirect to another page if we encounter 404 error in a specific sub site.

To be more specific, the site url is http://www.sitename.com and all 404 errors are redirected to http://www.sitename.com/pages/page-not-found.aspx (Works perfectly).

If there was a 404 error in a subsite, http://www.sitename.com/sub-site1/ , then we need to redirect the page to http://www.sitename.com/sub-site1/pages/page-not-found.aspx. Is this possible to be configured in IIs 7.0?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

This can be achieved using a custom HTTP Module.

Yes, http module was the option I had. But just wanted to explore if there was an option at IIS 7.0 level.

Thank you very much for your reply Ram.

Cheers.

I assume handling of 404 error to redirect to a custom page at the IIS 7.0 Custom errors 404  are  using  .htm .html pages.

Your using ASP.Net for the page-not-found.aspx.

"Sharepoint Custom error Pages"  Forums http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointdevelopment/thread/56bdbadc-e6bc-492d-9311-ca68f414dd8e/

This has to be inserted in web.config.  The page-not-found.aspx the .net Framework version and mode needs to set correctly.

<configuration> 
<system.web> 
 <customErrors defaultRedirect="/404.aspx" mode="On"> 
   <error statusCode="404" redirect="/my404error.aspx" /> 
   <error statusCode="500" redirect="/my500error.aspx" /> 
   </customErrors> 
 </system.web>
</configuration>
