Hi aminsoraya,

Since the <httpErrors> element was introduced in IIS 7.0,so I suggest you need to pay attention to your the version of IIS and using IIS7+.

And make sure HTTP errors is enabled in IIS,like the picture:

If there is no such icon,please set it enable in windows features,like the picture:

I have test and work well based on your code both in local and publishing environment.

You could also try to add httpErrors by setting Error Pages in IIS,more details,please refer to:
