asp.net not displaying a custom 404 page as configured

in my web config I have:

<customErrors mode="On">
  <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/error/404.aspx" />
</customErrors>

http://localhost/meh <-- standard 404 is shown

http://localhost/meh.aspx <-- custom 404 is shown

http://localhost/error/404.aspx <-- the custom error page I want shown for all 404 errors

How do I have to setup my web.config to send all 404 to my custom error?

Thanks

You have to configure this in IIS. By default, only specific files will get routed through the ASP.NET framework... otherwise IIS will handle it. enter image description here

Use the Application_Error event handler in the global.asax file to redirect the user to ~/error/meh.aspx

in global.asax

 protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
      Response.Redirect("~/error/404.aspx");

 }

In your web.config, also add

  <customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="/error/404.aspx" />
