IIS - Configuring the WebSphere Application Server Web server plug-in to serve custom error pages

Question & Answer


Question

When the WebSphere Application Server Web server plug-in encounters a run-time error while processing a request, it will return a generalized Error page with one of the following error codes: 500 - INTERNAL SERVER ERROR This will be returned for most error conditions including but not limited to: failure to reach or receive a response from all back-end Application Servers within a cluster, failures encountered by the GSKIT during SSL related processing. 503 - SERVICE UNAVAILABLE This will be returned if all available Application Servers within a cluster have reached their MaxConnections value limit as defined in the plugin-cfg.xml. 413 - REQUEST ENTITY TOO LARGE This will be returned if a POST request's content-length exceeds the PostSizeLimit value as defined in the plugin-cfg.xml. Is it possible to configure custom Error pages in place of these generalized HTTP Error responses returned by the WebSphere Application Server Web server plug-in for Internet Information Services (IIS).
