AC will be OK if you comment out the custom 404 line in our default web.config file. Other than that it's using the same redirect for all errors.

Code: Select all

		<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="~/Errors/GeneralError.aspx">
			<error statusCode="404" redirect="~/Errors/PageNotFound.aspx" />
		</customErrors>
Should become:

Code: Select all

		<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="~/Errors/GeneralError.aspx">
			<!-- <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/Errors/PageNotFound.aspx" /> -->
		</customErrors>
At least until Microsoft fixes the problem.

Wow. I just downloaded the latest version of AC. Do I need to worry about this? Do I need to make the code change in my web.config file? I'm still learning web security. Much thanks!
