Like the long title say: how can I redirect all the non-existing requests to a /404 page?

I try the web.config solution, the routes.json and/or the staticwebapp.config.json solution, both in /site/wwwroot folder (where dll and exe are) and in /site/wwwroot/wwwroot, but without success.

It is an Asp,net core razor Pages webapp, .net core 6, deployed on App Service Linux

Thanks

To add custom Error page in ASP.Net Core Web App, please check the below workaround.

In Program.cs file , add UseStatusCodePagesWithReExecute middleware to generate the unique error page.

My Program.cs

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews();
var app = builder.Build();
if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
    app.UseHsts();
}
else
{
    app.UseStatusCodePagesWithReExecute("/Error/{0}");
}
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseRouting();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.MapControllerRoute(
    name: "default",
    pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");

app.Run();

Add a new Controller, name it as HandleErrorController and add a view with name Error.cshtml.

My HandleErrorController.cs

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
namespace CustomErrorPage.Controllers
{
    public class HandleErrorController : Controller
    {     
      
        [Route("Error/{statusCode}")]
        public IActionResult StatusCodeHandler(int StatusCode)
        {
            switch (StatusCode)
            {
                case 404:
                    ViewBag.StatusErrorMessage = "Sorry, the requested resource is not available";
                    break;
            }
            return View("Error");
        }
    }
}

My Error.cshtml

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Not Found";
}

<h1>@ViewBag.StatusErrorMessage</h1>
<a asp-action="index" asp-controller="home">
    Navigate to the home page
</a>

Re-Deploy the WebApp.

Navigate to Azure portal => Your Web App => Configuration => Application Settings, add the below Environment variable

ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT
