Hi there,

Is it possilbe to redirect error pages (401, 404, etc), to a custom page
using ASP/VBScript.

I'd rather not use the custom errors tab in IIS as we have more than one web
site running on the IIS server.

Thanks very much/...

Forgot to say that I know you can define different error pages per virtual
directory, but would prefer, if possible, to do as asked above!!

Thanks/...

Hi,

This is not possible (AFAIK) using ASP. Either change the settings via IIS
Manager, use ISAPI Filter, or convert to ASP.NET (where you can specify
changes via web.config).

If you have access to the server, you can script the necessary changes
(using ADSI) to the metabase, so I don't really understand the argument
about having "lots of sites" as an impediment to doing this.

Cheers
Ken

This is how to "redirect" error pages to custom page handlers.

Use the custom error tab in IIS at the global (or website) level (so that
its settings inherit down to child nodes [unless you specifically overri
de
them), and set up each custom error in the tab to directly call your own
custom page via a single URL.

i.e. You have a custom error page located at:
/bin/CustomErrors.asp

You change IIS custom errors at the global level to map all custom error
handlers to URL of /bin/CustomErrors.asp

Now, every single error that happens on IIS will be routed through
/bin/CustomErrors.asp. Except for the 401 errors.
