Implementing a Custom Error page on an ASP Net website

Question

I have an ASP Net website and I want to use a custom error page  I put the following code in my web config   lt customErrors mode  On  defaultRedirect    error aspx  gt       lt error statusCode  404  redirect    error aspx    gt   lt  customErrors gt    The problem is when i go to a URL that does not exist is still uses the 404 error page specified in IIS Manager   Question  How can I make it use the error aspx page I have created  Why do the settings in IIS Manager override the web config

Is it a spelling error in your closing tag ie    lt  CustomErrors gt  instead of  lt  CustomError gt

lt customErrors defaultRedirect    404 aspx  mode  On  gt       lt error statusCode  404  redirect    404 aspx   gt   lt  customErrors gt    Code above is only for   Page Not Found Error-404  if file extension is known  html  aspx etc   Beside it you also have set Customer Errors for extension not known or not correct as    aspwx or  vivaldo  You have to add httperrors settings in web config   lt httpErrors  errorMode  Custom  gt           lt error statusCode  404  prefixLanguageFilePath    path   404 aspx          responseMode  Redirect    gt   lt  httpErrors gt   lt modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests  true   gt    it must be inside the  lt system webServer gt   lt  system webServer gt
