Internet Information Server allows you to display your own custom error pages instead of the ugly and unfriendly default error pages. Simply
create an HTML or ASP page displaying whatever information you want.
Here are the instructions to do this!
To connect it to IIS, Launch the Internet Services Manager.
On Windows NT machines, this is located in the Windows NT Option Pack | Internet Information Server folder in your Start Menu.
On Windows 2000 machines, open Control Panel and double-click on the Administrative Tools applet. - Once you have the Internet Services Manager running,
- Select your Web site in the tree view, right-click and choose Properties,
- Then select the Custom Errors tab.
- Scroll down to the error you wish to change,
- select it, and
- click the Edit Properties button.
- Enter the URL to your page
- Click OK. Your users will never have to look at a generic error again!
