Dave, I forgot about the isapi filter in the master www property page. Does this mean I can't catch missing .jsp pages? I am not sure if you saw my initial post in this thread, but it's all explained in there. CFMX catches missing .cfm and .cfml pages and displays the page defined in the missing template handler, but not .cfc or .jsp pages. IIS handles any other extensions with the custom error page I created (except for the above four I mentioned).
Also, on a related note to this specific problem, the missing template handler IS NOT relative to the web root as the docs say. The only way I've gotten it to work is to use a mapping. You cannot use "relative" paths as in ../folder/file.cfm. You have to use /folder/file.cfm. >From the technote: "Configuring a missing template handler requires setting a path to the Missing Template Handler on the Settings page of the ColdFusion Administrator. It must be in a relative path of the web site." >From the CFMX docs: "Specify a template to execute when ColdFusion MX cannot find the requested template. This specification is relative to the web root. If the user is running Internet Explorer with "Show Friendly HTTP error messages" enabled in advanced settings (the default), Internet Explorer will only display this page if it contains more than 512 bytes." If my web root is http://www.mysite.com and my error page is at http://www.mysite.com/404.cfm, using /404.cfm in the missing template handler field does not work, which leads me to believe the technote should explicitly state that you have to use a mapping to specify where the page is. I haven't submitted this as a "bug" to MM yet because I wanted to get feedback on it to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious.
