Customizing error pages
When a user attempts to connect to the Web site and a HTTP error occurs, a message is sent to the client browser with a brief description of the error that occurred while serving the request.
This page is the interface used, to customize the HTTP errors that are sent to the clients when a Web server error occurs.
For example, if a user attempts to connect to a Web site that has reached the maximum connection capacity, an HTTP error is displayed in the form of a HTML page. This error contains the statement "Too many users." Using this interface you can customize the HTTP errors that are sent to clients when such Web server errors occur.
Note: If the custom error file specified is outside inetpub\wwwroot, then server will display the default custom error message.
On the left navigation panel, go to the section Windows Web Hosting Services > IIS Web Service, then click Custom Errors.
On the Custom Errors page, click the option button corresponding to the error code to be configured, then click Edit. The Edit Custom Error page displays the following options:
