Hello all, using windows 2000 pro and IIS 5.  What I would like to do is set
up an error message so when someone clicks on a link that begins with https
they would be directed to a page I have made that states that this page is
not available at this time, try again later.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Gale

Is the https link to your IIS5 server or some other server?

If it is an https link to your IIS5 server that you want to send a custom
error message, then you must set up a SSL server certificate in IIS to be
able to receive https traffic to then send that custom error page. You must
have a SSL server certificate because all web servers need such a
certificate to conduct legitimate https communications.

Hi David,

I did have a certificate but was changing our business name and had to
delete the certificate off until the new one came (windows 2000
professional, not server 2000 or 2003).  I was trying to get around changing
all the links to the https to an error page.  I no longer have to worry as
the security certificate come though and is again installed on my server.

Thank you for your response.

Gale
