CustomError is an add-on for for IIS web servers, that allows
administrators to add customized error pages simply by uploading them to a
designated directory.
No administrator intervention is required. CustomError installs into the
IIS properties dialog for each site.
The main advantage of using CustomError is that one does not have to access
the IIS server's Microsoft Management Console (MMC) interface in order to
set up site-specific error pages.
All that is required is to place a file named for the appropriate HTTP
response code (such as 404.htm) in a designated directory
(/errors by default) under the website's document root. This has the
advantage of placing error page design and deployment directly in the hands
of the people who build and maintain a website -- rather than having to
rely on a server administrator.
Hosting vendors and others who administer multi-homed servers no longer
have to allow their clients MMC access, or worry about configuring
multiple sets of error pages themselves.
