You're close. Here's a different approach for you. Keep the "Check that file exists" and look in the Custom Errors tab for the website in IIS MMC. Right-click on website>Properties>Custom Errors tab...scroll down to 404 and either keep the standard IIS error page or Edit and select URL from "Message Type" and put in a custom CF error page. That way you could run application.cfm.
In addition, you might want to stop and start all the CF services PLUS stop and start the "World Wide Web Publishing" service. HTH, Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin S. Rogers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 3:45 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: File Not Found Error Hello, We're testing ColdFusion MX and it seems it performs a bit differently than earlier versions of ColdFusion in regards to non-existent files. Specifically, in earlier versions of ColdFusion, if we unchecked the "Check that file exists" option in the IIS application extension mapping for .cfm pages, then we could trap requests for non-existent .cfm pages in the Application.cfm. This no longer seems to be the case with ColdFusion MX. ColdFusion MX throws a generic "File not found" error when requesting non-existent files. In other words, ColdFusion MX doesn't run the Application.cfm before throwing the error as prior versions of ColdFusion do. I've tried editing the web.xml file and adding the following servlet mapping: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> That seems to work for those folks using search engine safe URLs, but it didn't work in our case. We even went so far as to boot the server and delete all the class files after making the change. Nada. Anyway, if we're missing something, or anybody has any ideas, we'd appreciate it. We've poured over the configuration files, news groups and forums, and every bit of documentation we can find and haven't come across anything. Thanks. Benjamin S.
