default error message

Question

1. Is there an administrator setting that can make the path and name of the referring template be left out in a default error message but still be recorded in application.log?

2. If the answer to 1. is yes, does the ColdFusion service need to be turned off and back on for it to take effect?

3. Is cferror with type of request or exception as good as usiing cfcatch/try blocks?

Thank you very much.

1. Yes. The referrer of a page is CGI.HTTP_Referer. The administrator allows you to switch off CGI variables from the debugging output. The settings are under Debugging & Logging => Debug Output Settings. You simply have to uncheck the CGI checkbox.

2. No, you don't have to restart Coldfusion. Just press the button to submit the changes.

3. Cferror is just as good as cfcatch/try. However, cferror is suited to site-wide error-handling, whereas try-catch is suited for error-handling within a block of code or page.
