Amazing timing on this question, because I was dealing with the same thing late last night.
There are some tweaks that need to be made to IIS to have .cfm files use the custom 404 handler. This article gives the details of what needs to be updated in IIS: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/95ee04fb.html When I made these changes, requests to missing .cfm pages were re-directed to the custom error handler correctly. However: it did cause a new problem to crop up. After I made these tweaks, all the CF flash forms on my sites disappeared (they wouldn't display in IE, and in Firefox, they were replaced by a missing plug-in message). If anyone has an idea on how to make the custom error handler work with .cfm files AND not break CF Flash forms, let me know. This problem was affecting 2 servers: one running CF7, and the other CF8. Thanks, Michael -----Original Message----- From: Robert Harrison [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 1:06 PM To: cf-talk Subject: handling missing cf templates We setup a custom IIS handler for 404 errors. Works for all files types but .cfm files. See: http://69.10.45.169/bad.htm ... works fine. If you go: http://69.10.45.169/bad.cfm... does not work. Is there a way to get a missing cftemplate to display my 404.cfm file? It needs to affect my site only, not every cf site on the server. My server guys says is can't be done... I don't believe it. Any ideas? Robert B.
