Hi. Hope someone can help.

The root web.config on a site I am working on has custom error handling that I do not want to edit

I have a folder off root that I want to override the custom error handling in the root web.config.

I have tried putting another web.config in the folder with:
<customErrors mode="Off">
</customErrors>
but this has not changed anything.

I can not create this folder as an application.

If there is a way to do this, please let me know. I would even settle for a way to override than erro handling for a single page.
 
I need to prevent a page redirect when an error occurs - this page is inside out "radio player" and when it fails, it currently redirects the entire window to another effectively killing the stream.

I am getting timeouts on Pages X, Y and Z using HttpWebRequest, even though I have set timeouts on it and try to catch exceptions.

Pages X and Y are new .net pages I created for this player, and we thought the problem was confined to them, but it turns out page Z has been having this problem, but it was not noticed as the page was hardly ever used.

Page Z has been ther as it is for ages and I have not touched it, so it is not what I have done that's the problem.

For now I just need to prevent a timeout redirecting, hence I need to overwrite error handling found in web.config
 
I thought turning off the customerror handing means you are shown the yellow screen of death i.e. the exception stack! Seem to me your this wont be enough to fix the issue you are having.
