Enabling Detailed Custom Error Messages
IIS features its own set of custom errors that provide more
informative or more "friendly" feedback than default HTTP 1.1 error
messages. For example, the default HTTP 1.1 404 error message that
contains the statement "Object Not Found," is expanded to: "The Web
server cannot find the file/script you asked for. Please check the
URL to ensure that the path is correct. Please contact the server's
administrator if this problem persists." These detailed custom error
messages are set by default in the Default Web Site in the IIS snap-
in.
To configure detailed error messages
In the Internet Information Services snap-in, select the Web site,
virtual directory, directory, or file in which you would like to
customize HTTP error messages and then click the Properties button.
Select the Custom Errors property sheet.
Select the default HTTP error message that you would like to change.
Click the Edit Properties button.
In the Message Type box, select File.
Click Browse and navigate to drive
letter:\WINNT\help\iisHelp\common\file name.
Friendly error messages are installed by default to the following
location: drive letter:\WINNT\Help\iisHelp\common. The file names are
numbers which correspond to the specific HTTP errors; for example,
400.htm, 401-1.htm, and so on.
Custom Errors Install Location - IIS 4.0 to IIS 5.0
If you upgraded from IIS 4.0 to IIS 5.0, and you had previously
created your own custom error files or modified the custom error
files that IIS 4.0 installed in the drive letter:\WINNT\Help\common
directory, your custom error files have been moved to the drive
letter:\WINNT\Help\iisHelp\common directory and given a .bak file
name extension. You can retrieve your custom errors and reuse them in
IIS 5.0. For example, the custom error file 400.htm that IIS 4.0
installed is now named 400.bak, and is located in the drive
letter:\WINNT\Help\iisHelp\common directory (in addition to the new
IIS 5.0 custom error files).
