custom-errors

I am using a generic error page using ASP.NET's <customErrors> directive. <customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="500.html" redirectMode="ResponseRewrite"> </customErrors> Problem - when an error occurs, this page does not return HTTP status "500". It comes as 200. So link checkers and spiders do not see that there is any problem. How can I send the 500 HTTP status along with the static 500.html page?

When customErrors is set to "On" I see my Error page (and the detailed error) but nothing is written in the log file

I would like to have custom error pages unique to an MVC area. Unfortunately, it appears that the Web.config override system doesn't take the MVC folder structure into account. If I want to override an area called "mobile", I have to create a root project folder (in with Views and Controllers) named "mobile" and put the Web.config in there with the new customErrors element. Is there some better way to do this so that I don't have to create a root folder for any overrides? I've been looking for exactly the same thing. One slight change that I do is to use a location element within the main web
