Creating a custom error page in Umbraco CMS
Solution 1
In /config/umbracoSettings.config
modify <error404>1</error404>
"1" with the id of the page you want to show.
<errors>
<error404>1</error404>
</errors>
Other ways to do it can be found at Not found handlers
Solution 2
As stated by other posters, modify the errors section as indicated (including culture if needed.) In addition, add the following in the web config to enable passthrough of errors to umbraco:
In /config/umbracoSettings.config (the file itself explains its usage):
<errors>
<!-- the id of the page that should be shown if the page is not found -->
<!-- <errorPage culture="default">1</errorPage>-->
<!-- <errorPage culture="en-US">200</errorPage>-->
<error404>2664</error404>
</errors>
In /web.config
<system.webServer>
<!-- Some other existing stuff -->
<httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" />
</system.webServer>
(Note: This is .NET 4)

umbraco also supports culture dependent error pages in case you're working with multilingual sites...
Config changes a tiny bit. Instead of
<errors>
<error404>1050</error404>
</errors>
you'd now write
<errors>
<errorPage culture="default">1</errorPage>-->
<errorPage culture="en-US">200</errorPage>-->
</errors>

First create an error page (and template) in your umbraco installation. Let us say error.aspx. Publish it. Then edit config/umbracoSettings.config.
Under <errors> section
<error404>1111</error404>
Where 1111 is the umbraco node ID for the error.aspx page
Node ID can be found by hovering mouse on the error node in content section. It's usually a 4 digit number.
Then edit the web.config:
In <appSettings> section
change <customErrors mode as show below:
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="~/Error.aspx"/>

I'm working on a client site who is using Umbraco as a CMS. I need to create a custom 404 error page. I've tried doing it in the IIS config but umbraco overrides that.
Does anyone know how to create a custom 404 error page in Umbraco? Is there a way to create a custom error page for runtime errors?

chamara54 over 15 yearsYou can find the page ID by going to the Umbraco admin, and looking at the status when hovering over the page.

Sprague almost 12 yearsappSettings section doesn't have a customErrors child. Also, you don't need to modify customErrors, as far as I know.
