I had updated the customErrors node in web.config as below :
<customErrors defaultRedirect="~/ErrorPage.aspx" mode="RemoteOnly" />
but the custom error page doesn't seem to show up on every error. Instead, the ASP.NET error pages bubble up. How to get all errors to redirect to my custom error page?

remoteonly shows the default asp.net errors for requests to localhost - if you want your custom error page for both local and remote requests you need to use On

Sorry, I changed it to :

    <customErrors defaultRedirect="~/ErrorPage.aspx" mode="On">
                <error statusCode="403" redirect="~/ErrorPage.aspx" />
                <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/ErrorPage.aspx" />
    </customErrors>

But it still didn't work. Even the 404 directive doesn't seem to work. Is it an issue of IIS not handing over the processing to ASP.NET? Or did I miss some other DNN/web.config setting?

there is no specific dnn setting. Basically whilst the portal is running if there are any exceptions we try to catch them and route them to the dotnetnuke event handler. If the exception is not caught it bubbles up i.e. an exception in a method bubbles up to the control then to the page then to the application then to iis -it will stop bubbling up if something processes it.

customErrors are simply a way of capturing the error at the application level - as they are a .net setting they only process .net requests i.e. www.mysite.com/doesnotexist.aspx will be processed, but www.mysite.com/alsodoesnotexist.asp will not (it's an asp page so doesn't pass through a .net handler)

You only need to map settings in IIS to pages if (a) you want to handle non-.net items or (b) you don't want to have a customErrors setting.

No, no this has nothing to do with ASP, we're talking DNN on .NET aren't we? I didn't do any IIS mappings at all. And even if I wanted to, what if I don't have access to IIS?

From what you're saying, it looks like all types of exceptions cannot be caught, after all, but I'm not sure whether its because of DNN or .NET.
