HI,

I am getting little confused with how errors are handled in DNN 4.9.4

I came across 2 issues

1)  For testing, I have stopped SQL Server and tried to access DNN..

It redirected to "/Install/UnderConstruction.htm" then..I thought it would redirect to ErrorPage.aspx

This is my config in web.config

        <customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="~/ErrorPage.aspx"/>

 

2) In Host-->Host Settings, I have enabled Use Custome error codes. But still, 404 is not handled properly.

 For eg, If I try to browse to http://localhost/YouKiddingMe.htm, I get the standard IIS error message not the custom DNN.

 

Can anyone guide me on how to solve above two problems??

TIA
 

I do not want errors to be forwarded to "

The DotNetNuke Custom Errors functionality is different than that configured within the web.config.  This explains the behavior for item 1.  It was not able to connect to SQL Server, therefore it took you to the under construction page.

For item two, the file that you tried to access, was a .htm file, that is NOT something that is handled by the ASP.NET process, therefore your custom errors definition was not used.  You would need to modify the custom errors within IIS to have a different behavior.

Thanks Mitchel..That makes more sense now.

 

Is there a way, I can get all errors/exceptions redirected to ErrorPage.aspx as defined in the web.config
