Guys, thanks to some help in the forums from Dave Delbridge, I have finally got the site wide error handlers to work!
The thing is, I absolutely had to add a mapping pointing to my error template's as opposed to just referencing a relative path. Referencing a relative path just did not work! Honestly, I know what a relative path is, and I made a duplicate of my file in every directory imaginable, wwwroot,inetpub,cfroot, cfwwwroot and on and on. But to make a long story short, following Dave's advise, I added a mapping and used this to reference my error template and it worked. As Dave points out in his post, you will still get an error message saying the template does not exist, but this IS a bug and it will work regardless. Dave's Post below ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- The key phrase is "relative path." ColdFusion MX requires a relative path to your error-handling templates, whereas ColdFusion 5.0 and earlier accepted an absolute path, a la "C:\MyErrorPages\Error404.cfm." A bug in CF Admin (see below) makes this even less intuitive. The solution is to create a mapping to your error templates. Then, specify this relative path in your Missing Template Handler and Site-wide Error Handler fields. For example: Mappings: Logical Path: /Errors Directory Path: C:\MyFiles\MyErrorTemplates\ Settings: Missing Template Handler: /Errors/Error404.cfm Site-wide Error Handler: /Errors/ErrorCF.cfm As of CF version 6.0, when you submit these changes in CF Administrator, the "file does not exist" errors WILL APPEAR. This is a bug. Ignore these warnings and test your templates manually. You'll likely find that they function perfectly.
