Not sure but you can try this... Open IIS Right click site Go to properties Go to home directory Click on configuration Click on App Mappings Find all mappings that refer to the tango dll and open each one and click to on... "Check if file exists"
This defaults to the 404 page. Rewrite the 404 page to suite your needs and add it to your custom errors. Not sure if this will work, but you can give it a shot. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Cadillac [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 2:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: server maintenance message Yeah, for unexpected crashes my suggestion won't help. This particular issue has been discussed many times before. I don't think you can get around that hard-coded message by conventional methods.
