JavaScript Vue HTMLStatic site hosting is straightforward, and from our experience, less likely to have errors compared to a more dynamic site. While dynamic site problems, like missing pages or internal server errors, are not expected, they can still happen. For us, it is essential to be good internet citizens and set up proper responses to error response. If we are transmitting a 404 Page Not Found page response, we want the HTTP semantics to match what our users are seeing. In this post, I’ll show you what you need to set up your Hugo static site to support proper error pages in Internet Information Services (IIS).
In Hugo, we can treat error pages like any other piece of content on our site. In our use cases, we usually create a file named 404.md under our content folder (/content/404.md).
---
title: Page Not Found
date: 2018-07-20T12:09:05-04:00
type: basic
---
**We're so sorry that you stumbled upon this page!**
After running the hugo command, you should see a generated document under the following structure.
> /public/404/index.html
Create as many error pages as you need for your site.
IIS operates by using configuration files commonly named Web.config. Place a Web.config file under the static directory of your Hugo site.
> /static/Web.config
The file contents should include a httpErrors section that contains some potential status codes.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<httpErrors errorMode="Custom" existingResponse="Replace">
<remove statusCode="400" />
<remove statusCode="403" />
<remove statusCode="404" />
<remove statusCode="500" />
<error statusCode="400" responseMode="File" path="404\index.html" />
<error statusCode="403" responseMode="File" path="404\index.html" />
<error statusCode="404" responseMode="File" path="404\index.html" />
<error statusCode="500" responseMode="File" path="404\index.html" />
</httpErrors>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Please note, it is vital that you use back-slashes when setting the path attribute. Additionally, we want to set the responseMode to File. The existingRepsonse attribute on the httpErrors element tells IIS to read the file from disk, then immediately overwrite the current response with the contents of the file.
The next time you deploy your Hugo site to Azure running an IIS instance, you should have all the necessary parts required to respond semantically to your users, whether they be human or otherwise.
As a final checklist for those that need it, remember these steps:
static folder. Building the site will place the file at the root of your public folder.Good luck!
