customErrors : should a defaultRedirect be added?

[Mike718NY]

I have to change to "On" because of McAfee :

<customErrors defaultRedirect="Default.aspx" mode="On" />

I noticed there is no redirect page in the default webconfig page for AC7.
Is there any reason why I shouldn't add one?

Yes you can do this, this feature will be available in next version of AC. But it would be better that instead of using defaultRedirect="Default.aspx" you must create another page on the root let say it ErrorPage.aspx and then use that page like

Code: Select all

<customErrors defaultRedirect="ErrorPage.aspx" mode="On" />

because on this new error page you will tell the customer that some error has occurred.
