404 page in Windows IIS. HELP!

[Jeepster]

I run a real estate website.
My webmaster needs to create a 404 page for listings when they get deleted.
So far all he's come up with is 302-redirect to a standard "error template" page.
Can anyone suggest a 404 how-to guide I can show him?
Thanks

It's really quite simple:

Create your custom 404 page and put it wherever you'd like in your directory.

Go into your IIS settings and right click the domain in question, select properties.

There should be a tab that says "Custom Errors" or something of the sort. Click that tab.

In there is a error messaging option for 404 and it will allow you to set the path of where your custom 404 page goes.

Essentially, this will all be found in the properties of your site in IIS explorer.

Hope this helps!

Our webmaster has at long last managed to trigger a general IIS-generated 404 template page -- but doesn't know how to turn that into a customised one . Help again!
