404 pages notw orking on portal engine

Hi,

When I type in an incorrect URL I get an IIS error page that says:

Server Error in '/' Application.
There is no build provider registered for the extension '.htm'. You can register one in the <compilation><buildProviders> section in machine.config or web.config. Make sure is has a BuildProviderAppliesToAttribute attribute which includes the value 'Web' or 'All'.

I'm sure that this is a pretty generic IIS error. I have set the 'Page not found URL' in Manager > Settings > Content to ~/404.aspx, which exists (tried /404.aspx and stagingurl.com/404.aspx too!). This doesn't seem to make any difference.
I'm sure this is something that I'll have to edit in web.config.

The only issue is that I am now hosting the files on the azure server and can only access them through azure blob storage. I'm tempted to download the zip from the azure blob (cmscustomcode/unmanaged folder), alter some files and then reupload it again.
Is this the best way to alter web.config once on the hosting?
Will this zip be the same as the one that I uploaded to the server when I transferred my site over to hosting? I think some changes may have been made by kentico between me and the azure server....
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I should change in web.config?

So many questions......

RE:404 pages notw orking on portal engine

Regarding your 404 issue, take a look at this post. In the end, it was a simple change. Here is the section from my web.config

<customErrors defaultRedirect="~/Global/Error/" mode="On">
    <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/Global/404/"/>
</customErrors>

And in the Site Manager>Settings>Content (both site and global) I set the page not found URL to ~/Global/404.aspx and everything worked as expected. I should also note I'm using extensionless URLs.

Regarding Azure, I'm unable to help on that one.

Member	DanM - 9/26/2013 11:16:52 AM RE:404 pages notw orking on portal engine Hi, it turned out that I was altering the global setting and not the one for my site, which was trying to redirect to a html file that didn't exist. Doh!
