Re: CF8 Administrator's Debugging Options
Robust Exception information is the information that is displayed when an error occurs. Request Debugging Output is the debugging info that is displayed at the bottom of every page. Only Request Debugging Output will be restricted by IP address. You should leave this enabled on a production server as it has performance implications. The debugging output is generated for every single page, the IP restrictions simply stop it being displayed. You should not do development and testing on a live production server. Just download CF developer edition and do it locally.

Debug output is not the same as exception information. Every request, whether there's an exception or not, will generate debug output if you have that enabled. Debug output will show you execution times and variables within specified scopes. > Is there a way to show the Robust Exception information to only > the developer's IP address without having a development server? No. In a production environment, you need to use a custom error handler. You can provide functionality in your custom error handler to do this if you like. The Advanced ColdFusion 8 course available for download on the Adobe site demonstrates this. http://www.adobe.com/support/training/instructor_led_curriculum/acfd_8.html Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:340365 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CF8 Administrator's Debugging Options
Visitors to your production server should never see the raw exception information, robust or not. Debugging should also be turned off on a production server. Create a custom exception handler template that either displays to you the necessary info based on IP address or alternatively sends to you via email the relevant info. This way visitors get only what you decide they should get. -- WSS4CF - WS-Security framework for CF http://wss4cf.riaforge.org/ On 4 January 2011 20:31, Richard Steele wrote: > > I don't understand how the Debugging options with a specific IP Address works. > > If I check the Enable Robust Exception information on a production server (we > have no development server) and include only a specific IP Address, our > website still shows the Robust Exception information to ALL visitors to the > website.

CF8 Administrator's Debugging Options
I don't understand how the Debugging options with a specific IP Address works. If I check the Enable Robust Exception information on a production server (we have no development server) and include only a specific IP Address, our website still shows the Robust Exception information to ALL visitors to the website. Obviously this is not acceptable. If the Enable Robust Exception information is disabled and Enable Request Debugging Output is enabled, what information is then shown only to that specific IP address? Is there a way to show the Robust Exception information to only the developer's IP address without having a development server?
