Custom error asp

[madanthrax]

Hi all,

I am having a hard time finding anything out about using asp custom error pages in IIS6.

I develop on my laptop which has XP and IIS5. I need to get some info about page not found 404 errors. I already have a custom error page 404 setup, its a .htm. So I make an asp page instead with all the servervars etc to catch the querystrings and referers etc. Fine, it works beautifully on my laptop.

Servers at work are IIS6 and the operators say you cant setup a custom error page using asp now because the IIS5 setup allowed you to specify a URL and that option is not there in IIS6, so the asp wont execute on the website...

Being suspicious of our operators real web savvy and that Microsoft would produce a new version without this useful feature I did some heavy duty Googleing. All I found was one old article saying that the reviewer was suprised that the beta version of IIS6 seemed not to have this function included.

If MS had taken away this feature I feel pretty sure there would be a few posts about it somewhere. Am I missing something big here, or have our server operators?

Assuming the worst news from this forum, has anyone any neat ideas how you would extract the bad querystring and referrer when you have to start with an htm error page?

Thanks in advance if anyone can shed some light on this.

Your server operators

the URL type for custom error pages is still there and still in the same place.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
