I set the Template Handler in CF admin to point to 404.cfm, but still got
the error.
By stripping stuff out of the 404.cfm i narrowed the problem down to where i
used #application.dsn#.
Hard coding the datasourse fixes the error, as does adding <CFINCLUDE
TEMPLATE="application.cfm"> to the 404.cfm.
So it seems that when CF uses the missing template handler it doesn't run
the application.cfm.
Normally I would expect (Error Occurred While Processing Request,An error
occurred while evaluating the expression: #application.dsn# etc) but it
can't seem to find whatever CF uses to generate this, so it just gives the
standard "HTTP/1.0 404 Object Not Found".
ie it is the CF error which it isn't finding.
Does that make any sense?
