customError only works for .aspx files?

[John Knoop]

Hi

I've designed my own 404 not found error page. And it works fine if I type
in this URL:

[url]www.mydomain.com/doesntexist.aspx[/url]

However, if I type in:

[url]www.mydomain.com/doesntexist.html[/url]

then I get the usual standard error message. How can I overcome this?

Hi

Unfortunately I down't haev access to the IIS mmc console, since my website
is located on a web hotel to which I connect via FTP. Is there no other way?
Maybe something I can do in web.config?
