Redirect if link not available

[BasicBoy]

I need to redirect the browser to a page in my project which might tell them that the link is not available presently - similar to the IE6 error message.

I do not know which route to follow - and I have tried the following two, but I cannot get them to work.

1. I have changed the web.config file to read :

<customErrors mode="On" defaultredirect="notavailable.aspx" />

and

2. I have changed the global.asax file to the following :
Sub Application_Error(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Response.Redirect("unavailable.aspx")
End Sub

Can some one please guide me further ?

Thanks

Hi!

You could do it this way:

<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="notavailable.aspx">
	<error statusCode="404" redirect="unavailable.aspx" />
</customErrors>

and make sure that in IIS you set the 404 code in "Error pages" for Execute URL "/unavailable.aspx".

Hope this helps!
