Running Windows 7 Pro Running local IIS 7.5 ( for web development purposes )

Edited hosts file to be able to use http://www.sitestepper.dev

Site build in subfolder of the inetpub/wwwroot/staplijst

Site can be viewed using http://www.sitestepper.dev/staplijst/whatever-page.htm

I have an http://www.sitestepper.dev/p.asp page I would like to call when an unknown page is requested. This technique works fine on the deployed version of this web site ( deployed on an Windows 2003 server running IIS 7 - not sure about the 7 but it is the version deployed with Windows 2003 server ).

I tried ( in the Edit Custom Error Dialog ) :

  • Execute a URL on this site: with value /staplijst/p.asp

and

  • Respond with a 302 redirect: with value http://www.sitestepper.dev/staplijst/p.asp

I tried this in the properties of the 'Default Web Site' , and I tried this at the staplijst level.

  • Even tried it with values without the /staplijst.

I restarted the default web site after each change. And even stopped/started the Web service.

But nothing seems to work, I keep getting the 'Server Error In Application "DEFAULT WEB SITE"' , HTTP Error 404.0 error.


What am I missing here - probably something obvious, but I don't see it ?

Thanks in advance
