Actually, I just found it. Sheesh... In CFMX, there's a basic mapping to "/" which points to the root of the IIS default web site. If you put a 404.cfm file in there, and then set this to "/404.cfm".. It works.
And.. I solved the problem of dynamic 404 redirects using this setting. I just created, within the "/404.cfm" file: <cfhttp url="http://#cgi.SERVER_NAME#/404.cfm"/> <cfoutput>#cfhttp.FileContent#</cfoutput> That way.. If they have a 404.cfm file, it'll display it. If not.. It does the standard 404 error. Of course, this only works for .CFM files. The .HTM (and other) files are handled by the "Custom Errors" setting in IIS. | -----Original Message----- | From: Brook Davies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 11:53 PM | To: CF-Talk | Subject: Re: Missing Template Handler... | | | Lee, | | This is really messed up.
