Missing Template Handler
CF Missing Template Handler We have a new site running on IIS7.5. We have the 404 working for all pages except .cfm pages. We have the admin set to use the missing template handler, but it's not working. We're getting a blank page. Any thoughts... works fine on our IIS6 sites.

RE: Missing Template Handler : RESOLVED
Found a solution that overrides the problems with IIS not serving up the missing template handler from the CF administrator. Put this in the application.cfc file: cffunction name=onMissingTemplate returnType=boolean output=false cfinclude template=404.cfm /cffunction Thanks Ray Camden... found that (or a variation thereof) in your blog.

Re: Strange errors in Missing Template Handler
However - if I go and break the cfml in notfound.cfm: You've reached notfound.cfm/cfoutput And call the same file (www.site.com/nothere.cfm) I get an unhandled 404-error from the CF server - and not a 500-error like I would expect. Have you ever been a victim of this? And if so - how did you solve the problem? This is the expected behavior for CF's error handlers - if they themselves have an error, they fail silently and your error is processed as if you didn't have the handler in the first place. To solve the problem, don't leave errors in your error handlers, and make them as simple as possible.

Strange errors in Missing Template Handler
Here's a bit of a conundrum we've been wrestling with a the office. We have the Missing Template Handler set on our CF server - let's say it points to /notfound.cfm In notfound.cfm we have the following code: cfoutputYou've reached notfound.cfm/cfoutput If I call a site on the server with a cfm-file I know is not present (www.site.com/nothere.cfm) I get the expected result with the page displaying You've reached notfound.cfm.

I had to manually add and call the ca_templates.CFC that is responsible for wrapping all our content in a template.

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:310497 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: Missing Template Handler is missing part Duex
Ok so what is wrong with using expandPath() in a 4.5 ColdFusion template that is used as the Missing Template handler? That is the source of my problem. When the 404error.cfm file is called directly in a browser the expandPath() function works properly and resolves the absolute path I need to work with for the cffile... calls to replace the !--include virtural... -- directives. But when the 404error.cfm file is called as the Missing Template Handler, the expandPath() function only returns passed parameter. And then for some reason I do not fathom, this causes the ColdFusion server to serve up it's default 404 error rather then some other error when the returned path does not work with the cffile... tag. ~| 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:310506 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Just to poke in, maybe it's already been discussed: CF 4.5 didn't allow the use of any CFML in error templates. It's a bit buried, but the docs for CF 4.5 are here: http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/coldfusion/documentation452.ht ml/ This is from the Developing Web Application... book: The error application page is a file that includes HTML and the parameters associated with the error. The error application page cannot use any CFML tags. The parameters associated with an error depend on the type of error. All the error parameters use the Error prefix (for example, Error.Diagnostics). The original thinking was that if the server was hosed you'd still get your error page. But it wasn't very flexible. I honestly can't remember or find if the missing template handler was restricted by the same rules... but I have a vague recollection that it was.

Jim Davis wrote: I honestly can't remember or find if the missing template handler was restricted by the same rules... but I have a vague recollection that it was. Jim Davis Nope all the other CFML works just fine in the Missing Template Handler. I was concerned about the same thing and had done some simple tests to make sure. It is just the expandPath() function that mis-behaves. Once I removed it and just used a hard coded path all the rest of the CFML worked fine. This just means that this missing template handler code will only function correctly on our production server because we have the problematic situation here where our production server, our staging server and our development server where all set up with *different* web root paths. Yippee. I had originally used the expandPath() function to dynamically get the web root so it would not matter which server it was on. I guess if it becomes important enough I will create a switch structure based of cgi.server or something like that.

Does this work on Unix servers? Or older servers are currently Unix. We seem are moving to Windows servers internally, but I'm not sure if the external servers will ever be Windows.

Missing Template Handler is missing
I'm trying to configure the Missing Template Handler on an old CF4.5 Unix based server. Our web shop has created a custom 404 incorporating the look and feel of our site. It's path is simply /errors/404error.htm. The apache web server has been properly configured to use this for static content 404 errors. They would also like this to be used for missing CF template errors. I put in '/errors/404error.htm' into the Missing Template Handler field in the administrator and nothing happened. I also tried it without the initial slash and still no good.

Missing Template Handler is missing part Duex
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

Missing Template Handler Strangeness....
I have a custom missing template set up, but something either in the application or with CF7 keeps hitting it. I know this because I have the missing template write to a CF log file.

RE: missing template handler
I created a mapping that points to the directory where my page is and then set the page via /mapping/page.cfm and that worked. Any idea why it needs a two step process in mx7 but not in 5.0? If I recall correctly, in CF 5 a filesystem path was used. In CFMX, the path depends on a mapping, I think. You should only have to create your own mapping if the root slash (/) isn't mapped to your web server's document root directory.

missing template handler
I am trying to setup my 404 handler in CFMX 7 and cannot seem to get it to take. The administrator keeps saying the file does not exist. It says to specify the relative path to the template. What does that mean? I tried putting the file in the root and just specifying the page, putting in the full path from the d:, putting in the http: path, putting in the path relative to the CFIDE directory and relative to the web root. All come back with the same error message. What am I missing? In 5.0, you specify using the full hard drive path and it works fine.

RE: CFMX 6.1 - Missing Template Handler
Tom, Okay, I'll concede that the first example is bad. But, relative to the webroot means if I have my 404 page at http://www.mysite.com/404.cfm, using /404.cfm in the missing template handler field should work (as in my second example I gave in the original post), but it doesn't. If you can prove to me it does work, then that is a good thing as you could have a separate error page in the root of each site (or within any sub-directory you choose under the root), so you wouldn't have to figure out which site the user got the error on by checking CGI variables. Sadly, no one has proven otherwise in this case, so until someone does, the technote and docs are just plain wrong.

Technically, ../page.cfm is always relative to the web root if you're already AT the web root.

RE: CFMX 6.1 - Missing Template Handler
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.

CFMX 6.1 - Missing Template Handler
Hi everyone, OS is Windows 2000 Advanced Server w/ IIS 5. Has anyone noticed that CFMX only catches pages with .cfm and .cfml extensions as missing when the pages don't exist? .cfc and .jsp are also mapped to the same jrun.dll file, but CFMX doesn't catch missing pages with those extensions. Also, strangely, removing .jsp for the virtual directory I am running my test site on does not allow IIS to handle missing .jsp pages; I still get the stock CFMX page not found error. Either I am a raving lunatic or IIS is ascending the tree and checking the web site itself for a mapping to .jsp, and if it doesn't find it there it's going to the default properties of IIS. Restarting IIS isn't making a difference. It just doesn't seem possible that CFMX can still catch a missing .jsp page if IIS is not handing that extension off to the jrun.dll file. I just removed the .jsp mapping from the master property configuration page in IIS, restarted IIS, restarted CFMX, and I am getting the same stock CFMX page not found error for any random .jsp pages I type in. CFMX is handling .cfm and .cfml and IIS is handling every other page extension correctly. I could type in http://server/virtualdir/sadfhjasdfj.xxx and IIS is kicking in with the correct page not found. Any ideas?

I then deleted all the class files and restarted cfusion (just for good measure). Problem is, the missing temaplte handler doesn't seem to be taking hold at all. Has anyone else seen this behavior? anyone have the missing template handler functioning on their CFMX server? Seems to be a pretty basic functionality, and have seen a high number of posts in the forums about it not working, but none seem to explain why people are having problems with it. -Cameron ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

Actually, I just found it. Sheesh... In CFMX, there's a basic mapping to / which points to the root of the IIS default web site. If you put a 404.cfm file in there, and then set this to /404.cfm.. It works. And.. I solved the problem of dynamic 404 redirects using this setting. I just created, within the /404.cfm file: cfhttp url=http://#cgi.SERVER_NAME#/404.cfm/ cfoutput#cfhttp.FileContent#/cfoutput That way.. If they have a 404.cfm file, it'll display it. If not..

RE: Missing Template Handler...
And actually.. If you follow my previous advice.. Your CFMX server will
be brought to it's knees, if the 404.cfm file for the client's site
doesn't exist.
Instead, use this:
===
cfset position = listlen('#cgi.path_translated#', '\')
cfset urltrans = #listdeleteat('#cgi.path_translated#', '#position#',
'\')#
cfif FileExists(#urltrans#\404.cfm)
cfhttp url=http://#cgi.SERVER_NAME#/404.cfm/
cfoutput#cfhttp.FileContent#/cfoutput
cfelse
Whatever you want here .. Could be html code or whatever
/cfif
===
Works fine and will check to make sure the file exists first.

404 Error Handling Code (Was: RE: Missing Template Handler)
Ok.. So now I've found that my previous code would not work for sub-dir's.. So I rewrote it... Use as follows: - Place the code below into a 404.cfm file, located in the wwwroot of the default site on the IIS5/CFMX server. - Set the Missing Template Handler in CFMX to /404.cfm - Your clients can then put a file called 404.cfm into the root of their websites, which will be displayed if the server cannot find the CFM file the visitor entered into the browser... As opposed to the unfriendly 404 error message sent out by CFMX. **WARNING BEFORE YOU USE THIS CODE** - This code will look in the ROOT of the clients web for the 404.cfm file. - It relies on the URL to translate into a path, exactly. I.e., www.yourdomain.com/dummy/something/hello.cfm should translate to (as an example) D:\www\hosts\yourdomain\dummy\something\hello.cfm. So.. If you've created a virtual directory, and that doesn't coincide with the above schema example (of course your root dir name and drive will be different), than it will fail - AND MAY CAUSE BIZARRE RESULTS. So BE CAREFUL and TEST, TEST, TEST, before you use this!! - Of course, this will only work for missing .CFM files. Has nothing to do with other extensions (.htm, .asp, etc.) which you'll need to adjust within IIS. Hope this is helpful to others. Feel free to modify it and make it better - so long as you share with me what you did to make it better! :) !--- Strip the extraneous path crud from the path and return it in a var --- cfset urltrans = #replace(cgi.path_translated, replace(cgi.PATH_INFO, '/', '\', 'ALL'), '')# !--- See if the file 404.cfm exists in the root of the website being called --- cfif FileExists(#urltrans#\404.cfm) !--- If so.. Go get the 404.cfm file for the browser and deliver it up! --- cfhttp url=http://#cgi.SERVER_NAME#/404.cfm/ cfoutput#cfhttp.FileContent#/cfoutput cfelse !--- Otherwise.. Deliver up something generic --- whatever you want to show here if they don't have a 404.cfm file -- can be html.. etc. /cfif ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: site wide missing template handler not working in MX
I took another look at the server this morning. I believe I owe you an apology. I realize now that I made more changes after the ones I told you to make, but had forgotten about those. Here is the way that I have it as I look at it now. This is working for me. I hope it will for you as well. I have a physical dummy directory\file: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\error\error_404.cfm with the following code in it: cfsetting enablecfoutputonly=yes !--- include the actual error_404.cfm file --- cfinclude template=/error/error_404.cfm cfsetting enablecfoutputonly=no Do not share this forlder. Ok that takes care of the Missing Template Handler file requirements. In CF Settings I have: /error/error_404.cfm This should work for the Site-wide Error Handler as well. Now, because my templates use files in a virtual directory that looks just like the physical one, I had to create a virtual directory in the website mapped to the actual error directory for the website. I have in IIS error mapped to D:\web\error\ (I can see all the files in the physical directory below) I have in CF Mappings /error mapped to D:\web\error\ I have an physical directory D:\web\error\ I hope this helps. Mike At 03:00 PM 26/07/02 -0500, you wrote: I had a problem with ours that I resolved. I will tell you how it is arranged and what I did. You can decide it is similar to your problem. We had an absolute path in cf5 that went to another drive letter and path for our file. In MX it uses relative paths only. It also has to be inside of the webroot directory. Ours was not. To solve this I created an physical directory in the webroot with the same name as the folder where my file existed. I then created a dummy file with the same name as the one I wanted to use and inside this dummy file I placed a CFINCLUDE of the actual file. Because it was relative, inside the webroot and could run cf code, it worked just fine. I had tried using virtual directories and spent several days trying to get it to work being as creative as I could. This was the only way I could actually get it to run. I could have just placed the actual files there, I know, but I keep my files elsewhere and wanted to keep it that way. This approach allows me to do that. Good Luck.

RE: site wide missing template handler not working in MX
I had a problem with ours that I resolved. I will tell you how it is arranged and what I did. You can decide it is similar to your problem. We had an absolute path in cf5 that went to another drive letter and path for our file. In MX it uses relative paths only. It also has to be inside of the webroot directory. Ours was not. To solve this I created an physical directory in the webroot with the same name as the folder where my file existed. I then created a dummy file with the same name as the one I wanted to use and inside this dummy file I placed a CFINCLUDE of the actual file. Because it was relative, inside the webroot and could run cf code, it worked just fine. I had tried using virtual directories and spent several days trying to get it to work being as creative as I could. This was the only way I could actually get it to run. I could have just placed the actual files there, I know, but I keep my files elsewhere and wanted to keep it that way. This approach allows me to do that. Good Luck.

CF stores it in the registry. I think that is the only place, but not sure. MX stores all kinds of things in xml files.

Re: Limitations in Missing Template Handler Template?
Okay, figured it out. Both cffile and cfinclude will work. With cffile you need to output the cffile variable, as opposed to letting cffile display it directly. With cfinclude the pathing is screwy. I used a bunch of up-directories (../) to get all the way to the root of the server drive, and then used absolute pathing to get back down to the file I wanted: cfinclude template=../../../../../../../../../../../websites/mysite/404.cfm Hope it helps someone.

Missing Template Handler problem
I'm running into a problem where it appears that Client variables or Cookies fail to get set properly when using the Missing Template handler. Has anyone else run into this, and if so, is there a workaround? I'm really baffled by this. From documentation and forums postings that I have seen, Allaire contends that the Missing Template handler functions exactly like a normal Cold Fusion template. However the test below seems to prove otherwise. I've pretty much accepted that none of this is going to work. I just want to know why. Is this a feature? is it a bug? Am I overlooking something simple? I do know that the Missing Template Handler does not call Application.cfm and that it must be included. For example, Setup: First, set the file "mth.cfm" as the Missing Template Handler in the CF Administrator. Also, tell CF to store client vars in a database (I don't know if this makes a difference, but it duplicates my testbed). Create an Application.cfm with a cfapplication tag and turn on client management and setclientcookies = yes. 1) Now, put the following code inside "mth.cfm": cfinclude template="Application.cfm" cfset Client.MyVar = "My test variable." cfoutput#Client.MyVar#/cfoutputbr a href="therealtest.cfm"Now for the REAL test./a 2) Put the following code inside "therealtest.cfm": cfoutput#Client.MyVar#/cfoutput When you call the "mth.cfm" file directly, everything works as expected. You see the new client var both on the mth.cfm page and when you click the link to see the real test. (Be sure to delete the client variable between tests!!) However, when you enter a bogus URL to trigger the missing template handler, you still see the new client var. But when you click the link to "therealtest.cfm", you get an error that Client.MyVar does not exist. It also appears that the Missing Template Handler misbehaves when setting cookies. Any ideas?

RE: CFAdmin - Missing Template Handler - Format?
I want to use the "Missing Template Handler" in CFAdmin to have a custom 404 page for CF pages. What format do I put the file in in this box? Absolute path (http://...), relative path (relative to what)? You use a filesystem path (ex. "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mymissingtemplatehandler.cfm").
