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:310451 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
