If you are using extensionless URLs for your products or webpages you may notice that custom 404 error page may not be working for a missing extension less URL. In order make custom error pages work with extension less URLs in gold you will have add an extra piece of configuration. Following is a step by step guide about enabling custom error pages while using extension less URLs.

• Edit your Website/web.config file
• Locate following element

    <system.webServer>
  

• Add following configurations under system.webServer element

    <httpErrors errorMode="Custom">
      <remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" />
      <error statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" path="/Errors/PageNotFound.aspx" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
    </httpErrors>
  

• If your install is running under Virtual Directory/Application for example yourstore.com/shop then make sure you have path prefixed with Virtual Directory/Application name. For example for /shop it should look like following

    <httpErrors errorMode="Custom">
      <remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" />
      <error statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" path="Shop/Errors/PageNotFound.aspx" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
    </httpErrors>
  

• Save web.config file and now custom 404 error page should appear for missing extension less URLs.
