It’s simply.

In Web.config add following lines:

<system.web>

…

<customErrors defaultRedirect="GenericError.htm" mode="RemoteOnly">

<error statusCode="404" redirect="404.htm"/>

</customErrors>

…

</system.web>

</configuration>

Thanks FlatBurgerLabs!

I am interested to see an example of how other people have implement an elegant 404 DNN solution.

For example, if you go to this url:
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/alskjdflaf
then you will see a fairly inelegant standard IE or FF window.

I like this idea but have not yet had a chance to try it.

This will affect all portals on this DotNetNuke installation I assume.

So I would like to set-up a page such as /Help/404/Default.aspx

to set the redirect attribute to so that all the portals can have the same folder structure for their 404 catcher. The Default.aspx catcher could then be made "intelligent" and redirect certain pages to different 404 help pages depending on where the 404 came from etc.

More is discussed here in the Redirect Module:
