you firstly are trying to use fileExists on a URL, so it will always fail, fileExists requires an absolute path on the server see here: https://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/coldfusionen/fileexists
secondly an html page will never reach coldfusion, because it is an html page, so cfml code will never run. You need to setup a 404 handler on the web server or use URL rewriting.
