CustomError for IIS
-
Version
1.2
When errors occur they should be handled properly.
Unfortunately, setting up customized error pages in
IIS usually requires something many Web developers
lack - access to, and familiarity with, the Web
server's MMC interface. With CustomError for IIS,
developers can add their own error pages simply by
placing the appropriately-named HTML or script
templates in a specified directory of their website
and uploading them together with their other site
files. No administrator intervention is required.
Customizing error pages becomes a normal part of site
design and development -- enhancing security by
masking Web server-specific default error messages and
providing a more integrated user experience. Hosting
vendors and others who administer multi-homed
environments no longer have to allow their clients MMC
access, or worry about configuring multiple sets of
error pages themselves. CustomError takes the mystery
and hassle out of deploying custom error pages for
developers, frees up administrators and hosting
vendors to handle higher level tasks, and ultimately
provides Web site end-users with better, safer error
pages.

their sites, enhancing security and user experience
