404 page not loading correctly... 1

[Ram0135]

Hello,
I have a site on an ASP server and I also have a custom 404 page setup (404.asp). The problem is that I want to have ASP code w/ in it to for example, send me an email each time w/ the referer in it. However if the 404 page is loaded by going to an invalid link, the ASP code is NOT processed and is viewable via View Source. But if I call it up directly, (w/ the .asp extension) it loads the ASP code just fine. Is there a way to make it load the ASP code w/ out the .asp extension on it? (the file itself does have it).

Thanks,
Ram0135

Hello,
Thanks for replying drexor. I know how to do a 404 page and it is set up. The problem is that the server WON'T load any of the ASP code. It remains in the source code as if it is not processed by the ASP engine.

odd, just for giggles, try changing the 404 to something static, then re-applying the change to your custom 404, the change might not have "taken" completely before, OR you might need to start/stop iis for it to re-calc the handling ( iis caching )

i dont know, i never had a problem changing to a custom 404, and seems searching google for custom 404 and "error" or "source" just returns more tutorials.

sorry for the confusion

The "Type" setting for the custom error is set to "File". To run code on the error page it should be "URL"
