I’m having problems with handling URLS that do not exist…

In my development environment, I navigated to http://localhost:XXXX/FakeLocation and would catch the HttpException and handle it properly.

When I deployed to my production location, I’m getting a 404 error when I navigate to http://MyProductionURL/FakeLocation. How can I make the production location throw the HttpException so my code can handle it similar to how it works in my development environment?

    You probably need to configure IIS on the production location. The easiest thing you can probably do is

    1. Go to the Control Panel, and under Administrative Tools open Internet Information Services (IIS).
    2. Right-click on your web site to bring up the properties.
    3. Go to the Custom Errors tab
    4. Select to the 404 error and edit properties on it.
    5. Change the Message Type to URL.
    6. Set the URL to the page you want them redirected to.
