CF Missing Template Handler
We have a new site running on IIS7.5. We have the 404 working for all pages
except .cfm pages. We have the admin set to use the missing template handler,
but it's not working. We're getting a blank page.
Any thoughts... works fine on our IIS6 sites.
Thanks
Does anyone have the missing template handler working for IIS7 or above? We
have all missing pages except .cfm working. Any thoughts.

Found a solution that overrides the problems with IIS not serving up the
missing template handler from the CF administrator. Put this in the
application.cfc file:
cffunction name=onMissingTemplate returnType=boolean
output=false
cfinclude template=404.cfm

However - if I go and break the cfml in notfound.cfm:
You've reached notfound.cfm/cfoutput
And call the same file (www.site.com/nothere.cfm) I get an unhandled

I take it that a CFML template defined to be used as a missing template

CF serves up its default 404 error message.

just 'foo' or 'cfoutput#now()#/cfoutput' ?
