RE: Missing Template Handler is missing part Duex
Are you certain that CF can see that .cfm file? Can you actually execute it? Do you have the correct CF mapping that allows it to resolve? mike -Original Message- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 5:00 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Missing Template Handler is missing part Duex Ok, I though I found out how to input a missing template handler into our aged 4.5 Unix ColdFusion server. I was able to have it server up the custom 404error.htm file developed by our web department. And this worked, sort of. The problem was that this HTML file makes use of Apache !--- include virtual... directives which, of course, ColdFusion does not understand. So, I say no problem, I've dealt with this already before and expanded on some existing code that reads the html file and replaces all these virtual includes with the contents of the included file using cfile... tags and reFind() functions. This version even uses a Custom Tag and recursion to handle virtual includes inside of virtually included files. And this works great! http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/errors/404error.cfm. But when I then went into the ColdFusion administrator and replaced the HTML file path '/rootDir/subDir/subDir/htdocs/errors/404error.htm' with the corresponding CFML path '/rootDir/subDir/subDir/htdocs/errors/404error.cfm' it stop working. ColdFusion starts display the default ColdFusion 404 not found error rather then my specified Missing Template Handler. What's wrong here? Why can't I server up a CFM file from the exact same place I can serve up an, albeit incomplete, HTML file? ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310497 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Dawson, Michael wrote: Are you certain that CF can see that .cfm file? Can you actually execute it?

And just to be weirder... If it put an test.cfm file that is in the same directory that just has a simple string in it it is working. I'm suspecting it must be something inside the 404error.cfm file is not working but what type of internal code would cause 404 errors? I'm using cfile... and a custom tag but I would presume these would throw more then just a basic 404 error if they where not finding the files they reference, wouldn't they? ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310501 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: Missing Template Handler is missing part Duex
Ok so what is wrong with using expandPath() in a 4.5 ColdFusion template that is used as the Missing Template handler? That is the source of my problem. When the 404error.cfm file is called directly in a browser the expandPath() function works properly and resolves the absolute path I need to work with for the cffile... calls to replace the !--include virtural... -- directives. But when the 404error.cfm file is called as the Missing Template Handler, the expandPath() function only returns passed parameter. And then for some reason I do not fathom, this causes the ColdFusion server to serve up it's default 404 error rather then some other error when the returned path does not work with the cffile... tag. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310506 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Just to poke in, maybe it's already been discussed: CF 4.5 didn't allow the use of any CFML in error templates. It's a bit buried, but the docs for CF 4.5 are here: http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/coldfusion/documentation452.ht ml/ This is from the Developing Web Application... book: The error application page is a file that includes HTML and the parameters associated with the error. The error application page cannot use any CFML tags. The parameters associated with an error depend on the type of error. All the error parameters use the Error prefix (for example, Error.Diagnostics). The original thinking was that if the server was hosed you'd still get your error page. But it wasn't very flexible. I honestly can't remember or find if the missing template handler was restricted by the same rules... but I have a vague recollection that it was.

Jim Davis wrote: I honestly can't remember or find if the missing template handler was restricted by the same rules... but I have a vague recollection that it was. Jim Davis Nope all the other CFML works just fine in the Missing Template Handler. I was concerned about the same thing and had done some simple tests to make sure. It is just the expandPath() function that mis-behaves. Once I removed it and just used a hard coded path all the rest of the CFML worked fine. This just means that this missing template handler code will only function correctly on our production server because we have the problematic situation here where our production server, our staging server and our development server where all set up with *different* web root paths. Yippee. I had originally used the expandPath() function to dynamically get the web root so it would not matter which server it was on. I guess if it becomes important enough I will create a switch structure based of cgi.server or something like that. But at least for now it is working as desired on the production server. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310521 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Not really a solution, but a possible workaround: We had a similar situation (dev, int, qa, dr and prod servers with slightly different settings). We ended up adding environment variables to the boxes with the different information (paths, names, etc) and using the CFREGISTRY tag to fetch the values. The environment variables could be easily changed without a code deploy and the code didn't need needless complications to determine which environment it was running in. Maybe too complex for this problem, but it worked a treat for us.

Does this work on Unix servers? Or older servers are currently Unix. We seem are moving to Windows servers internally, but I'm not sure if the external servers will ever be Windows. But as we move forward we are working hard to not run into this problem by making the servers as consistent as possible, so it maybe a moot point by then,. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310543 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
