I have web.config settings like this 

<customErrors mode="On" > <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/404" /> <error statusCode="403" redirect="~/500" /> <error statusCode="500" redirect="~/500" /> </customErrors>

  • Remove absolute paths. Add custom error pages to you default root directory of your project and then add relative paths. This should work. Commented Nov 24, 2017 at 11:57
  • I'm pretty sure that if you create a 404.html file and put it in your root folder, it should pick it up. Commented Dec 1, 2017 at 3:35

In short, in production it is possible to completely get rid of the "system.web -> customErrors" section, which is almost kept for the compatibility purposes (check the What is the difference between customErrors and httpErrors? thread to learn more), and where you also specify redirects. Then, specify the necessary redirects and custom error pages within the "system.webServer -> httpErrors" section only. Make sure that these HTML files exist on the web server and are available via the relative paths (or these pages exist inside one of a parent web app on the same web server, so that these "errors" settings are inherited).

  • not_found.html

  • Web.config

Web.config (for the 404 status code error):

<!--Dev: For Visual Studio Mode--> <system.web> <customErrors mode="On"> <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/not_found.html" /> </customErrors> </system.web> <!--Prod: For IIS Mode--> <system.webServer> <httpErrors errorMode="Custom"> <!--<error statusCode="404" path="C:\Inetpub\vhosts\domain.win2012.tld\error_docs\not_found.html" />--> <error statusCode="404" path="~/not_found.html" responseMode="Redirect" /> </httpErrors> </system.webServer>

For 404 status, it works. But 500 is going 404 page. Why ?
