MOSS / Sharepoint 2007 Custom Error Page and Access denied Page
In case if you are interested in creating your own custom error page and custom access denied page instead of the out of the box MOSS / Sharepoint error page (generally the requirements in Publishing internet site). You can use the following HTTPModule (this is just a sample, you can change it to suit your requirements):
Note to have following Web.config Entries:
Following entries in the <appsettings> section in the web.config file:
- Following entry is for a custom error page to be displayed for anonymous users, the key should be in the format: “CustomAnonCustErrPG-SiteCollectionURL” as shown below:
<add key="CustomAnonCustErrPG-http://xyz.com" value="/Pages/default.aspx" />
- Following entry is for a custom error page to be displayed for authenticated users, the key should be in the format: “CustomAuthCustErrPG-SiteCollectionURL” as shown below:
<add key="CustomAuthCustErrPG-http:// xyz.com " value="/Pages/default.aspx" />
- Following entry is for a custom error page to be displayed for access denied errors, the key should be in the format: “CustomCustAcsDndPG -SiteCollectionURL” as shown below:
<add key="CustomCustAcsDndPG-http://xyz.com" value="/_layouts/XYZ/CustomErrPg.aspx " />
Create an entry on all the WFEs web-application specific web.config in the HTTPModules section, as follows just below the <HTTPModule> tag This should be the first entry in the HTTPModules section:
<add name="XYZExceptionHandler" type="XYZ.Sharepoint.HTTPModule.CustomErrorPages.CustomErrors, XYZ.Sharepoint.HTTPModule.CustomErrorPages, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=PUBLICKEYGUID" />
NOTE: Add your own Public key for PublicKeyToken per your snk used, replace the PUBLICKEYGUID with your own snk value
