Hi All,

We have recently migrated to Coldfusion 9 from Coldfusion 8 and I am struggling to turn on debugging on the coldfusion adminstrator.  Can anyone help with how to turn this function on please?

I have specifically thrown an error in one of my systems and all I am seeing on the web page is the following error.

500 - Internal server error.

There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

If however, I run the website locally on the server...  I get the following error, which is what I want to display when I am not running it locally.

The web site you are accessing has experienced an unexpected error.
Please contact the website administrator.

 

The following information is meant for the website developer for debugging purposes.

 

Error Occurred While Processing Request

A tag starting with 'CF' has been detected. This tag is not supported by this version of ColdFusion. Please verify your typo and try again.

Unknown tag: cfsef.

ColdFusion cannot determine how to process the tag cfsef because the tag is unknown and is not in any imported tag libraries. The tag name might be misspelled.

Resources:

Check the ColdFusion documentation to verify that you are using the correct syntax.

Search the Knowledge Base to find a solution to your problem.

    P.s

    I have enabled the following in the coldfusion adminstrator, and it still doesn't show the debugging detailed error.

    Enable Robust Exception Information

    Allow Line Debugging

    It's not "Allow Line Debugging" you want:t hat enables the line debugger.  You want "".

    Plus you might need to check which IP addresses it's enabling debug for.

    Thank you for your response Adam.

    I have just checked and "Enable Request Debugging Output" is checked.

    In the "Debugging & Logging > Debugging IP Addresses" section I have the following IP address in there (exactly as my CF8 setup was, which showed me the output)

    127.0.0.1

    0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1

    Do I need to put the IP address of the server in there to make it work?

    Sorry, bit confused as never had to do this before.
