ColdFusion 9 - Robust Error Handling Turned On - No Output Displayed

My settings in ColdFusion Administrator 9 appear the same as those I had previously on ColdFusion 7. When a page errored out on CF7, I'd see something like this on my test server.

Error Occurred While Processing Request

Variable  XFHDSHSDHJ is undefined.

The  error occurred in D:\Website Data\mywebsite.com\variabletest.cfm: line  1
1 : <cfoutput>#xfhdshsdhj#</cfoutput>


Now I see
: 500 - Internal server error.

I don't have cferror tags in application.cfm (someone thought that was the problem).

I know you can view the errors in the application log or supposedly on a error handler page that I haven't been able to successfully map, but I really liked having the error messsage display directly on the erroring page on my test server, like it formerly did. Is this still possible?

Thank you!

    500 Internal Server error typically happens when the application server is unable to answer the request. This may be due to some kind of misconfiguration at the server level.
