Les, You can configure a CFM page as a 404 handler using IIS (or apache). I have the IIS instructions here.

They have very little incentive for helping sites out with custom configuration since they have such a razor thin profit margin. What they really want is thousands of low traffic sites that get put up and remain a they are for years (which describes most of the web actually). I'm sure that HMS would prefer to lose a customer that was constantly hounding them for configuration changes rather than accomdate them. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Les Mizzell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2007 12:13 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Custom Error Page on HostMySite for missing templates/incorrect URLs... This has been beat to death before, but thought I'd ask one more time as I've not seen what I consider to be a definite answer yet. After a bunch of back and forth with support at HostMySite I get the following reply: ------------- Hello Les, Custom error pages set up in CFAdmin are applied server wide. Per site custom error pages can be configured using <cferror> tags in Application.cfm. Please let us know if you require further assistance. ------------- Basically, the site in question has been redesigned and reorganized from scratch (several hundred pages have changed). I really see no way to set up any way of catching "file not found" errors as the constructor code of Application.cfc is included in the requested template. If the template doesn't exist, then Application.cfc doesn't get called, right? I'm trying to find a way to catch *all* incorrect URLS coming into the site and redirect them to an error/sitemap page so they can find what they were originally looking for. www.mysite.com/foo.cfm 0r *anything* should go to the one error/sitemap page I've set up. ...htm or .html pages are being redirected correctly as per a setting in the site admin, but this does *not* catch .cfm pages, and the entire site is ..cfm ... I don't see any real way to do this.
