This is my understanding on how CF has worked at least since MX (CF6).
So either your MX 7 version had the setting configured so that 'all
templates are checked by the web server' or you had the 'Missing
Template Handler' pointing to the same 404.cfm file which would have the
same effect.

Set the Missing Template Handler in the ColdFusion Administrator under
Settings

thank you. so is there a solution to this? Before I was using CF7 with IIS and I have never had this problem. All the missing .cfm page will go to 404.

IIRC, by default, the web server does not check the existence of a cfm
file before handing it off to ColdFusion. And ColdFusion uses its own
'Missing Template Handler' that can be set in the CF Administrator.

I believe there are settings that can modify this behavior so that the
web server does check for templates before handing off to Cold Fusion,
but that this can have other effects for some functionality where
content is delivered that 'looks' like a file but actually only exists
in memory. Some <cfimage...> and <cfform...> functionality maybe like
this for example.
