custom error page

Hello,
Is there a a way to catch general errors on ssrs and display a custom error page to the user?

The goal is that if a user try to access a report when the ssrs is down, He won't see the RS general error but a custom notice from me.

Thanks.

If you are using report manager (which is an ASP.NET web application), I guess you can do that by configuring your custom error page in web.config file available in Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.X\Reporting Services\ReportManager folder. Set mode="on" for customErrors tag and define the custom error page as you do for any other ASP.NET web application.

More details on how to use custom error pages in a web application:

You can use defaultRedirect attribute of customErrors tag to tell the application to go to another custom web page by default if any error occurs. Also you can define error pages for specific types of errors like 401, 402 etc. and add them as error tags inside this customErrors tag. En example would look like this:

<customErrors mode="on" defaultRedirect="/error.html">
<error statusCode="403" redirect="/accessdenied.html" />
<error statusCode="404" redirect="/pagenotfound.html" />
</customErrors>

where error.html, accessdenied.html and pagenotfound.html are the files that you create and place in the appropriate folder on report manager virtual directory.
