  Hi,
  
  I'm trying to set a default web page for errors in my site. I wrote this in my web.config:
  
  <

   

  customErrors defaultRedirect="~/ErrorPage.aspx" mode="RemoteOnly">

   

  <

   

  error redirect="~/Sitefinity/nopermissions.aspx" statusCode="403"/>

   

  </

   

  customErrors>
  
  I set a wrong connectionstring for one of my data sources, and I ran it from other machine. The result is that the page is steal and there is not a redirection.
  
  After that I set mode="On" and debug it. The error has occurred and the site is steal.
  
  I set the following in the Global.asax it works properly - shows the custom error page.
  
  

   

  void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) 

    {

        // DONE IN WEB.CONFIG

          

        Exception ex = Server.GetLastError();

        if (ex is HttpException)

        {

            HttpException httpEx = ex as HttpException;

            if (httpEx.ErrorCode == 403 || httpEx.Source.StartsWith("Telerik.Cms"))

            {

                Response.Redirect("~/Sitefinity/nopermissions.aspx");

                Server.ClearError();

            }

            else

            {

                Response.Redirect("~/ErrorPage.aspx");

                Server.ClearError();

            }

        }

        else if (ex is Telerik.Security.SecurityApplicationException)

        {

            Response.Redirect("~/Sitefinity/nopermissions.aspx");

            Server.ClearError();

        }

         

    }

  
  But I'd like to use the web.config for that because I want to set mode to RemoteOnly and I want to manipulate its value.
  
  Do you have any advices?
  
  I have Sitefinity 3.7.
  My Error page has no code behind.

  Kostadinka

  Hi Kostadinka,
  
  Thank you for using our services.
  
  Can you please breakpoint your code in Global.asax and see what is the status code of the error? Then try providing a redirect rule for this particular error code.

  The error code is 401. It works when I use Global.asax code, but it doesn't If I use the web.config settings (the DefaultRedirect).

  Hello Kostadinka,
  
  Can you please try setting an error redirect for 401 in custom errors, instead of default redirect?

  Yes, the custom redirect works, but the default - does not. So, do I have to set a custom error for everything?
  The error 401 was simulated by me to test error page redirecting.

  I updated my Fire Fox and it has a run time error. It said to set defaultRedirect for custom errors. I am not sure what to do.

  Hi,
  
  If your website is running on IIS 7.0 or later you can use the httpErrors configuration:
  

  <httpErrors errorMode="Custom">

          <remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" />

          <error statusCode="404" prefixLanguageFilePath="" path="/error-pages/404" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />

          <remove statusCode="500" subStatusCode="-1" />

          <error statusCode="500" prefixLanguageFilePath="" path="/error-pages/default" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />

      </httpErrors>
