Remove the aspxerrorpath param with CustomErrors use ResponseRewrite - asp.net-mvc-4

Question

I'm using asp.net MVC4 + visual studio 2012. every thing all fine, But only the custom error always has the aspxerrorpath param on the URL.
I already config the custom error on web.config:
<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="~/Error/Error">
<error redirect="~/Error/Error" statusCode="404" />
<error redirect="~/Error/Error" statusCode="500" />
</customErrors>
I also changed my Error Action to :
public ActionResult Error()
{
Response.Status = "404 Not Found";
Response.StatusCode = 404;
return View();
}
Will now when there is some 404 happening. I always got aspxerrorpath param on my URL.
I tried add redirectMode="ResponseRewrite" to the customError nodes but If add this , the error will display a run time exception.....
So Is there any best way to remove the aspxerrorpath param? Thanks.

Answer 1

Another simple solution is turning on customErrors in web.config file for 404 error:
<customErrors mode="On">
<error statusCode="404" redirect="~/home/notfound" />
</customErrors>
and in home controller:
public ActionResult NotFound(string aspxerrorpath)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(aspxerrorpath))
return RedirectToAction("NotFound");
return View();
}

I wrote
<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="~/" redirectMode="ResponseRedirect" />
in <system.web>...</system.web>, than in my default action's (in the default controller), on the first line I wrote following:
if (Request["aspxerrorpath"] != null) return RedirectToAction(this.ControllerContext.RouteData.Values["action"].ToString());
It is dirty resolve, but effective.

Finally I close the customErrors
<customErrors mode="Off"></customErrors>
Then I use httpErrors to replace it.
<httpErrors errorMode="Custom" existingResponse="Replace">
<remove statusCode="400"/>
<error statusCode="400" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Error/BadRequest"/>
<remove statusCode="403"/>
<error statusCode="403" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Error/AccessDenied" />
<remove statusCode="404"/>
<error statusCode="404" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Error/NotFound" />
<remove statusCode="500"/>
<error statusCode="500" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Error/Error" />
</httpErrors>
Now All fine.
Update 1
But it will display the exception details sometimes , So now I use :
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="~/Main/Error" redirectMode="ResponseRewrite">
<error redirect="~/Main/NotFound" statusCode="404" />
<error redirect="~/Main/Error" statusCode="500" />
<error redirect="~/Main/AccessDenied" statusCode="403" />
<error redirect="~/Main/BadRequest" statusCode="400" />
</customErrors>
<httpErrors errorMode="Custom" existingResponse="Replace">
<remove statusCode="400" />
<error statusCode="400" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Main/BadRequest" />
<remove statusCode="403" />
<error statusCode="403" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Main/AccessDenied" />
<remove statusCode="404" />
<error statusCode="404" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Main/NotFound" />
<remove statusCode="500" />
<error statusCode="500" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Main/Error" />
</httpErrors>
I think still not find best solution for now. also don't understand why the Microsoft design like that. Maybe want every one know the website based on .NET

I have same issue the aspx error path is set from my IIS server. so check your IIS settings:
your project > Authentication > Forms Authentic
In form authentication right click Edit and check your URL.
I have problem in that url path remove the extension .aspx and it working fine.

Use Redirect inside your mvc action.
For example in config you can have "~/Error", in controller have Index action (default action) that redirects to Error action (I would call it PageNotFound) - querystring will be lost on redirecting.

Answer 6

<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="/404.html" redirectMode="ResponseRewrite">
<error redirect="/403.html" statusCode="403" />
<error redirect="/404.html" statusCode="404" />
<error redirect="/500.html" statusCode="500" />
</customErrors>

Answer 7

The absolute simplest solution is to use a blank querystring in the defaultRedirect in web.config to override (note the question mark):
<system.web>
<customErrors defaultRedirect="~/error?" mode="On" />
</system.web>
