Your host is wrong on both counts. However you can setup a global missing page error template in the cfadmin.
You set this link up in the "Settings" section under the cfadmin. The value you type for this field is the relative path to your wwwroot directory. Below is the code that I use for my 404 error template globally for all sites on my server. It will however only pick up 404 pages that have a request of .cfm. <cfset AdminEmail=''> <cfset AdminEmailCC=''> <cfsavecontent variable="myErrorPage"> <font face="verdana" size="2">Page could not be found</font> <br/> <br/> <cfdump var="#cgi#"> <br/> </cfsavecontent> <cfmail to="#Variables.AdminEmail#" from="#Variables.AdminEmail#" cc="#Variables.AdminEmailCC#" subject="Missing Page on Banshee3" type="html">#Variables.myErrorPage#</cfmail> <html> <head> <title>Page could not be found.</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=request.charset"> <cfoutput> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="10; URL=http://#Http_Host#";> </cfoutput> <style type="text/css"> .title { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: #003A79; } .text { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; } a { color: #093765; text-decoration: underline; } a:hover { color: #4690E9; } </style> </head> <body> <table width="100%" height="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle"> <table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td width="46"> </td> <td width="439" class="title">Page could not be found.</td> </tr> <cfoutput> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="text" style="border-top: 1px solid ##999999"> <p>The page you were attempting to reach could not be found.</p> <p>You will automatically be redirected to this sites home page please update your bookmarks.</p> <p><strong><a href="http://#Http_Host#";>Click here to return to the home page</a></strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="text" style="border-top: 1px solid ##999999"> <p>The administrator has been notified of this issue.
