Matt, You may need to alter your IIS or Apache settings as well. The file is missing before it hits CF... So IIS will need to know what to do. See this blog post.

However, I did get a custom 404.cfm page to come up on my dev Workstation. But I still can't get it to go on my dev Server. The main difference between my workstation and server is the IIS Default Web Site directory. My workstation uses the default C:\inetpub\wwwroot. I put my 404.cfm file there. The server uses D:\WebRoot\DomainName. So then I have a '/' mapping on the server that points to just D:\WebRoot. Maybe this is screwing things up. I have tried various possibilities and mappings and am not having any luck. I created a mapping named '/404' pointing to 'D:\WebRoot\DomainName\404'. Then in the Missing Template Handler I put /404/404.cfm. After submitting the CF Admin says it cannot find the file and will use the default instead (I have CF 7 on my Dev Server, which gives this feedback whereas I don't think CF 6.1 does). So to fix this I change the Missing Template Handler field to /DomainName/404/404.cfm (essentially eliminating the need for the /404 mapping). Server updates okay, but when browsing to a non-existant .cfm file, I still get the default 404 error. Aaargh! This isn't even that big of a deal, but has become frustrating and seems like it shouldn't be so confusing. -- Matt Williams "It's the question that drive us." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:244543 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
