Alternatively you can use a site-wide error handler in CFAdmin to do the same thing.
We use a site-wide handler with a pretty message to the user and it sends email to me at the same time. We also use one for 404 errors that's supposed to catch things like broken images and replace them with a clear gif file. These get databased and then sent in a daily 404 digest so we can clean up everything without getting pounded by 404 messages all day.

Keith Dodd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 1:05 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Setting up email from CF for errors (was Re: ColdFusion and SMS Messaging) Austin I do the following for being notified of general errors: 1. In application.cfm <CFERROR type="EXCEPTION" template="myErrorPage.cfm"> 2. On myErrorPage.cfm: Basic page stuff with message to user that error has occurred and that the webmaster is being notified of problem. Additionally: A cfmail tag to me (I use HTML so looks better for me to read quickly): including the following in the mail message: An error was recorded on [site name] website: <br /><br /> 1. Error: <br>#CFError.Diagnostics# <hr width="75%"> <ol start="2"> <li>Date/Time: #CFError.DateTime# <li>Template: #CFError.Template# <li>QueryString: #CFError.QueryString# <li>Ref: #CFError.HttpReferer# <li>Browser: #CFError.Browser# <li>Remote: #CFError.RemoteAddress# </ol> Time: #DateFormat(Now(),"m/d/yy")# : #TimeFormat(Now(),"h:mm tt")# User gets a nice message and I get an instant email. I'm sure there are other ways, but this works for me. (Took the above from a cf5 application. I think I use some minor differences in MX, but not at that machine.) Hope this helps. E.
