Hello,

I am trying to set up a backup server for one of our Web sites and I am
having a puzzling problem with error handling.

All the files from the live server has been copied to the new machine and at
this point almost everything is working OK.

However, some asp pages still produce errors, and what I can not figure out
is what happens after an error.
The site has a home page, and when an error occurs I would expect to end up
on the default page, but it ends up on the deault page of the live site.

I have gone through the properties of the Web site, including custom errors,
and can not find anything that would cause this behavior.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ragnar

Perhaps as simple as a link or something that the browser resolves,
which points back to the live system due to the name resolution.
Doesn't mean your backup server is broken, just that it's not live.

Thanks Jeff,

If you mean a link to the live server in the page that causes the error, or
in a page that called the offending page, I have not found any.

???
The server is live in one sense, it is on the Internet, but with a different
URL.

Then it's not an exact copy. Anything referencing the server will
naturally resolve to the version the code was written on/for.

You may have more help tracking this down by posting an actual error
in an ASP group.
