Re: 404 errors in the application log
IIS has an option to check for existing files before it hands the request off to CF. Just a heads-up - you have to be very careful with this feature, at least in some versions of IIS + CF. CF depends in many cases on wildcard patterns, and paths to files that don't even exist. You could also implement an onMissingTemplate() method in your Application.cfc, which I think is a CF9 feature. This is the suggestion I'd recommend, and it's available in CF 8 as well.

Re: 404 errors in the application log
you also have a global setting in the cfadmin for missing template handler, put a path here and it will show for all missing files. note that the file must also exist at the same path in the default website that hosts the cfadmin or it wont validate.

Re: 404 and CFCHART Problem
In a previous thread I was asking about getting a custom 404.cfm to display on missing .cfm pages. Got that working. In that thread someone mentioned it could cause a problem with CFchart because it references some kind of page that doesn't exists, and I'd have to make a fake page if I used it. I can't find that thread, but now I'm having exactly that problem. G! Does anyone know what I can do to fix a CFchart problem when we have a sitewide 404 applied for .cfm pages? I know someone said it, but I can't remember it and can't find it now. Capture the name of the file it's looking for, and create it. I think it's /CFIDE/GraphData.cfm, but am not entirely sure.

Re: 404 onMissingTemplate works with html, not with cfm
you need to set a sitewide missing template handler in the cf admin. if you're on CF 8, you can add an onMissingTemplate method to your Application.cfc on a per-application basis (if need be).

Re: 404 onMissingTemplate works with html, not with cfm
Can you explain this in greater detail? As you know, requests come through IIS. For a simple page such as whatever.htm, it looks on the hard drive for whatever.htm, and if it's found, it is read and sent to the visitor. If it's not found, IIS goes to the error control settings to see what it should do in the case of a 404 and displays its 404 error, redirect, or whatever it's set to do. In the case of anything with an extension handler or ISAPI filter (such as ColdFusion), by default IIS just passes the request to the filter and waits for a response. In this case, the response it gets is output from ColdFusion as an error saying the file doesn't exist, and that gets passed back to the visitor. In the ISAPI and extension handler settings in IIS, there is an option called verify that file exists which can be turned on. When enabled, IIS will go check the hard drive for the file just like it does for unhandled file types such as basic HTML. If the file exists, it will hand the request over to the filter normally. If it doesn't exist, it will ignore the filter and go straight to the 404 error settings and handle it internally, so ColdFusion never sees the request. Essentially it allows missing .cfm requests to be handled the same as any other missing file. You need access to the IIS settings console or the metabase to make this change. The only downside is that IIS will start looking on the hard drive for the file upon each request, and will increase disk I/O, though the difference is negligible. In the IIS GUI, the setting is under the site properties, Home Directory tab, either of the edit buttons, then verify that file exists. -Justin Scott, http://www.tlson.com/ ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:313137 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

It is technically possible to override what the browser displays when it receives an HTTP code of 404 by actually sending back 200 with a catch-all page that simply says 404-not found. Please try here etc at the top of it. This, of course, isn't really a 404 at all, but it is prettier than letting the browser deal with what to display.

Re: 404's
Hi Jenny, This is actually pretty easy to do. In IIS you can define a custom 404 page for each site. What not all people know is that the 404 page can be a CF page, not just an html page. So when someone makes a request to your site for a page that does not exist, IIS hands that request over to the ColdFusion 404 page, which then processes the request. That processing could entail querying a database to see if the requested page is listed there (this would be a table which simply contains all your old site's file names and their corresponding new file names). If it exists, redirect them to the new page. If not, display a nicely formated 404 message. Here is an old CF Dev Journal article which describes the process. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/41795.htm Also, Ben Nadel has put together a fairly extensive example of this on his blog. http://www.bennadel.com/snippets/29-Handling-404-Errors-in-ColdFusion.htm Oh, and one other thing, when you define the 404 page in IIS, make sure you choose URL as your message type and reference your CF file relative to your web root (i.e. /404.cfm) Hope this helps, Dean I've just done a big update on a site and, of course, the files names and structure has all changed.

I've been looking for ways to handle the 404 problems, especially for SEO. For SEO reasons, you want the old pages to 301 redirect to the new ones rather than go to a 404. When a search engine spider hits a 404 it will drop the listing (not usually the first time, but eventually). When it hits a 301 (moved permanently) it will follow the link and should update it's index (again, not usually the first time, but eventually). On Apache you would do this with htaccess files - redirects and mod_rewrite. On IIS you can use an ISAPI filter like ISAPI Rewrite (which has a per server cost) or there's a free one too called IONIC.

Re: 404 help
To get around that issue, I had my 404 page dump all the cgi variables into a db table, and then cflocate itself over to a missing.cfm. I'm gonna try to compile a list of missing pages and their matching re-directs (via a yet to be built UI) and use that list to send a 303 and then redirect to the correct location, if there is one. A 404 manager for the webmaster, so to speak. We'll see how it pans out. :D On 6/23/06, Matt Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We have a winner!

Re: 404 help
Okay, I was starting to feel stupid because I couldn't get nuttin' to work. 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!

RE: 404 help
Matt, Ok Then the CF file has to be in a directory mapped somehow in the admin. The missing template handler does an include (cfinclude template =/blah.cfm ). I see you have covered that base as well. Does cfinclude template=/404.cfm/ work? How about cfinclude template=/DomainName/404/404.cfm/ If these work then your missing template handler should work. You might also experiment with adding or removing slash prefix in the cf admin. -mark -Original Message- From: Matt Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2006 11:27 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: 404 help I have done that.

Re: 404 help
I'm using the Professional version of CFMX 6.1. Does this matter? Would I need to restart the CF Service? Under Settings and Missing Template Handler, I did as Phillip suggested (create a mapping, edit the Missing Template Handler), but still get the default. Under this input box it says this: Specify the relative path to a template to execute a cfinclude tag cannot find a requested template. This sentence doesn't make sense to me.

Dunno about restarting, but this does look like a weird sentence. Mine says: Specify the relative path to the template to execute when ColdFusion cannot find a requested template but I'm running Ent, thus, maybe the difference. It should only pull the custom 404 when there is a custom 404 file in the site root of whatever application you're running, or that's how I thought it worked. A quick test seems to show that behavior. E.G. if I don't have a 404.cfm in the site root, it uses the default 404 in my CFIDE dir.

RE: 404 help
No restart needed. Sounds like the path to your mapping may be wrong or IIS can't reach your 404 folder. If the latter is the case, create a virtual directory in IIS for the 404 folder.

RE: 404 help
There are a bunch of little things but it depends on your config and what you're doing. Macromedia has disallowed complex functionality within the Missing Template Handler due to cross site scripting in the 404.cfm (example name) file. Therefore, if you want to do anything fancy, just locate it over to a 404b.cfm and do your processing there. Warmest Regards, Phillip B.

Re: 404 errors and old google data
I think that a missing CF page throws a templateNotFound exception, so, theoretically, you could use your onError (defined in Application.cfc) or you can add the cferror tag to Application.cfm cferror type=exception template=errorpage.cfm And from there, it's just a matter of trapping the templateNotFound and checking the template name against (maybe) a databased list of missing files, and then redirecting based on results. I gotta implement this myself, in some manner, so I'll post what I come up with when I come up with it. Theoretical at this point, but I think doable. :D -ps Aparently I never got the sitewide 404 set up right (within cfadministrator), and instead used Apache to pipe any 404's to the correct page. :-/ I know you don't have access to the Apache conf... but that's the only solution for plain .html files.

RE: 404's
There's a setting for that in your IIS site preferences. Home Directory tab Configuration button @ lower right select the .cfm extension and press the Edit button check or uncheck the check that file exists checkbox That approach used to work, but I'm not sure it will with current versions of CF on IIS. JRun configures IIS to use filters as well as extensions (or, on IIS 6, an ISAPI wildcard extension which acts like a filter when it comes to filename pattern matching). Disabling filters will effect Flash Remoting, and may affect some other things as well. Instead, I'd recommend using the site-wide missing template handler for CF's 404 errors, if possible.

Re: 404 Error handler for ColdFusion?
Here's the important part of my CF 404 handler.

If a page is not found, the user gets to the site's home page. Automatic linkrot fixer.

Re: 404 Error handler for ColdFusion?
Thanks Thomas. I should also have added that we're in a shared host environment, and I have 4 sites on this same server that I want to use custom error templates on. I dont want to have one site getting the 'page not found' for another site. There's no way for a coldfusion template missing template on a site-by-site basis?

Re: 404 Error handler for ColdFusion?
if you want IIS to handle them then open up the application mappings in the IIS admin and look at the .cfm file, check the file exists box, jb.

Re: 404 Error handler for ColdFusion?
Thanks for your suggestion John. There's no way to do it in my own sites? i have to get the system guys in the hosting company to do it? The control panel we use turns on custom 404s (and other IIs error messages) but doesnt do it for CFM. So I have to build something in coldfusion to handle it, or else beg and plead for the system guys at the hosting company (who arent anywhere near as accommodating I am with my own hosting clients) to do it. These fellas have the view that if i want something, then I must be up to some skullduggery by default. their default answer to anything is no. (Please dont suggest moving hosts - if the client was going to do that I'd have moved them to my servers ages ago!). All i need to do is have some kind of 'missing template' handler for coldfusion templates, implented on a site basis not a server-wide basis. Apparently, judging by the lack of ideas of how to do it, it can't be done. No?

Re: 404 Error handler for ColdFusion?
there's no way to do it on per site basis in a single instance of CF, - unless you are able to create a 'global' missing template handler in the cfadmin and have it redirect to the site that threw the error - but in a hosted environment it's tough to persuede them!
