Custom Error Change defaultRedirect - asp.net-mvc

I run a Sitecore multi site environment (c#/MVC). The same IIS website, same folder, same code is used for multiple websites. For example www.chalk.com and www.cheese.com, very different looking sites but both use the same IIS website (host headers), same folder, same web config, same database backend.
All is good except the error page. In the web.Config I have the usual setting:
<customErrors defaultRedirect="/error.html" mode="RemoteOnly" />
I need something like
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly">
<error host="chalk.com" defaultRedirect="/chalkerror.html">
<error host="cheese.com" defaultRedirect="/cheeseerror.html">
</customErrors>
Is something like this possible?

In case anyone finds this question...
for me, I found the answer in Rewrite Rules.
NOTE: You need the URL Rewrite IIS Extention installed. (Download Here)
I added to the Web.Config
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules configSource="folder\filename.config" />
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
And then a config file (filename.config)
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<rules>
<rule name="Error-Chalk" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="error.html" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="chalkerror.html" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="*chalk*" />
</conditions>
</rule>
<rule name="Error-Cheese" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="error.html" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="cheeseerror.html" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="*cheese*" />
</conditions>
</rule>
<rules>
This line <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="*cheese*" /> makes the match on the domain name, so www.cheese.com or image.cheese.com will match. <match url="error.html" /> matches the page being asked for. <action type="Rewrite" url="cheeseerror.html" /> is the page IIS will serve. I can now have the different error page for the different site.

Apparently, this isn't achievable. customErrors settings work to redirect to error pages targeted for specific HTTP error codes.
However, As you mentioned, its an MVC application, you can create a Custom Error Handler MVC filter which checks for host\domain and based on that redirects to the required ErrorView.
Also, here are 6 great methods described to achieve expected behavior MVC Exception Handling

How to host two applications under one domain

At the moment I have a wordpress website that covers my blogs. I have a asp.net mvc application that is my ecommerce application.
At the moment I'm looking to have them both under one domain, I'm wondering is that possible?
When visiting
TestWebSite.com it'll point to my wordpress
Currently I asp.net mvc application set as a subdomain shop.TestWebsite.com but I would like to have it as TestWebsite.com/shop
What I'm currently having trouble with is configuring the asp.net mvc application such that when they visit www.TestWebsite.com/shop it'll load that application.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated
Yes, is it possible using the UrlRewrite Module. Add your custom rules in your root web.config. Also, in wordpress folder you will have to add the respective wordpress rewrites (.htaccess to web.config converter online)
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="SUBDOMAIN" stopProcessing="false">
<match url="(.*)"/>
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^SUBDOMAIN.domain.com$"/>
<add input="{PATH_INFO}" pattern="^/APPFOLDER/" negate="true"/>
<!-- This one! -->
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="APPFOLDER/{R:1}"/>
</rule>
<rule name="DOMAIN" stopProcessing="false">
<match url="(.*)"/>
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^DOMAIN.com$"/>
<add input="{PATH_INFO}" pattern="^/WORDPRESSFOLDER/" negate="true"/>
<!-- This one! -->
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="WORDPRESSFOLDER/{R:1}"/>
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>

HTTP Error 404.4 - Not Found - URL Rewrite - IIS Express

I am building an application using ASP.NET MVC + AngularJS. Now to make API calls through AngularJS, I am using URL rewrite because APIs are hosted on different servers.
but it gives me 404.4 error. I checked the trace for the request and patterns are matching fine. It is trying rewrite to the server url, but then it gives 404.4 error.
I have also added in my web.config. My rewrite rule is as follows:
<rewrite>
<allowedServerVariables>
<add name="HTTP_Authorization"/>
</allowedServerVariables>
<rules>
<rule name="Api Call" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="quote/(.*)" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="http://<server>/pc/service/edge/quote/{R:1}" appendQueryString="false" />
<serverVariables>
<set name="HTTP_Authorization" value="Basic <key>" />
</serverVariables>
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
<add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="quote/(.*)" />
</conditions>
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
What am I doing wrong?
Please help. Thank you in advance.

Redirect to non-www-url domain with MVC4 / IIS7.5

First of all, I just spent a few hours on Stackoverflow reading similar questions but no answer seems to work for me.
I have an MVC4 application which has an SEO issue : the non-www is not redirected to www. I have installed the Rewrite module on the server (IIS7.5) and on my local environment (VS2010).
I tried many ways but none seems to work...
Ideally, I would prefer to have the rewrite rule in my MVC4 solution and avoid doing server side configuration as it is more convenient when deploying to new servers.
I tried to put the following code block in my web.config :
<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
<!-- code added for SEO non-www to www redirect -->
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Remove WWW prefix" >
<match url="(.*)" ignoreCase="true" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^domain\.com" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.domain.com/{R:1}"
redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
<!-- SEO code -->
</system.webServer>
I then published the solution (with the right domain name) but nothing changes. When trying to access http://domain.com, I just get a 404 not found error.
I tried several code block for this part but it just never work. I also tried to configure this on the server, which didn't work as well. The best solution would be to have this rewrite in my web.config so the rules are applied whenever I publish to a new web server.
Does anyone sees something wrong with this ? My web.config is in my MVC4 application and published via the Publish menu we get when right-clicking the solution in VS2010.
Thank you very much in advance for your replies.
I also tried this block for the rule but it doesn't change anything..
<rule name="Redirect to WWW" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^domain.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.domain.com/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>

ASP.NET MVC 2: Make culture dependent redirect before routes kick in. For example: /Home => /en/us/Home

I want to make some redirects:
/Home => /en/us/Home
/ => en/us/
Where should I put these redirects and how should I redirect to avoid getting an infinite loop?
Instead en/us I want to extract the values that the users browser is submitting.
Thank you for your Help!
These things go into web.config. Look at this article. This is for IIS7, but I think II6 supports this as well.
In your case you would add something like this into web.config:
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="rule1" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{URL}" pattern="^en/us/?" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="/en/us/{R:0}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
This will catch all your non /en/us URLs and redirect them to the URL that starts with /en/us/ and what ever was in the original URL.
Note that this does not have the ability to test for actual location of the user. For that you'd probably have to use some logic.
