Re: 404-Type Error Redirection?
I built a system that actually does databased redirects for 404's, is that what you are looking for? Works for directories, .html, and CF files. If a 404 is encountered, the database is queried with the "bad" url; if there is a good URL matching that "bad" URL, the user is redirected. Otherwise, the "bad" URL is added to the database for investigation. Currently it's on CF5, but there's nothing in there to keep it from working on MX Pete - Original Message - From: "Lee Fuller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 3:44 PM Subject: CFMX: 404-Type Error Redirection? > I know we've discussed this before, but with IIS5 and CFMX, has anyone > come up with a way to define custom error pages for .CFM 404s, and the > like? > > Of course, making adjustments to the Custom Error Pages within IIS will > work for not found or incorrect .HTM pages...

RE: 404-Type Error Redirection?
You can set IIS to verify the existence of CF Pages before passing to CF. It is one of the options when you set up the .CFM mapping. There is a "Check that File exists" or something like that box. That will tell it to use the IIS 404 error message, which you can then customize, you can also set this to a CFM page that is data driven. > - Original Message - > From: "Lee Fuller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 3:44 PM > Subject: CFMX: 404-Type Error Redirection? > > > > I know we've discussed this before, but with IIS5 and CFMX, has anyone > > come up with a way to define custom error pages for .CFM 404s, and the > > like? > > > > Of course, making adjustments to the Custom Error Pages within IIS will > > work for not found or incorrect .HTM pages...

RE: 404-Type Error Redirection?
I've done this in the past: http://www.eaglewd.com/fake_url.cfm Set the template you create to be the 404 Handler in IIS, then set the template to be the "Missing Template Error Handler" in ColdFusion Administrator. This one catches missing pages and stores the info in a database, then emails the development staff to investigate. Likewise there's a template that looks almost identical that traps errors, stores the error in a database, adds the issue to a "bug tracker" and shoots off emails to the developers. You can do a lot with custom error pages.

RE: 404-Type Error Redirection?
But that's only good for a system wide handler... As I see it. We're looking for a way to let the clients build their own. Of course, we could code each client's site into this file, or a db. But seems a bit tough.
