404s for html, asp, etc. are handled "out of the box" by IIS,
without the need for a custom page for 404 errors, but .aspx files are not.

Remember, .aspx files go through the ASP.NET ISAPI application; html, asp, etc. files don't.

You're right, though, that is an option...for html files, for .asp files and,
in general, for any file that doesn't go through the ASP.NET ISAPI app.

Try using the .aspx extension...

Look at the difference between :

http://asp.net.do/test/some.html
and
http://asp.net.do/test/some.aspx

If you want non-existent .html pages to be responded to with a custom page,
add the extension to the files processed by ASP.NET.

i did as you suggested... added the code to the application_error and
commented out all my code that was in that sub

added the new page

modified the web.config file

when i hit the page that does not exists, i get a page "The page cannot be
found" error. i do not get redirected.

so after having checked the rights for the user, uninstalling and
reinstalling .net and IIS, what is the next step in the troubleshooting
list.

thanks again for all the pointers and help. Hope you can continue to help
me through this.

thanks
shannon
