I have site that I am trying to use Application.cfc but I am having trouble with two things. First I want to put all my cfc in one folder called cfc but I dont know how to map cfc in the application.cfc. Second I am having trouble getting page that are two folders down in the site to use the error pages I keep getting a 500 errror. Can anyone help me with these two problems? Thanks.

In your Application.cfc you can map the cfc folder by adding this to the pseudo-constructor area
<cfset this.mappings["/cfc"] = [the absolute path to the folder] /> (edited to: 'folder' )

I usually leave out the forward slash, and do this instead this.mappings["cfc"]. In any case, that setting will probably fail if you haven't enabled its use in the Administrator. To do so, navigate in the Administrator to Server Settings => Settings. Ensure that the box 'Enable Per App Settings' is checked. Click to 'Submit Changes'. I usually restart ColdFusion after changes like these, to restart the application.

As for your other issue, you said: Second I am having trouble getting page that are two folders down in the site to use the error pages I keep getting a 500 errror

What error pages? Site wide error handlers? Did you use <cferror somewhere to define something? Are you using onError? I think we need a bit more information. Do these subfolders that are having issues have Application.cfc or Application.cfm file sof their own?

I have these error pages

<cferror type="Request" template="ErrorRequest.cfm"

mailto="user@place.com>

<cferror type="Exception" template="ErrorException.cfm"

mailto="user@place.com">

<cferror type="exception" template="404.cfm"

mailto="user@place.com">

no they do not have their own Application.cfc

Don't you mean cferror tags?

<cferror type="Request" template="ErrorRequest.cfm"
           mailto="user@place.com>
<cferror type="Exception" template="ErrorException.cfm"
           mailto="user@place.com">
          <cferror type="exception" template="404.cfm"
                        mailto="user@place.com">
no they do not have their own Application.cfc

So the files ErrorRequest.cfm, ErrorException.cfm and 404.cfm are, like Application.cfc, also in the root of the site? Did you place the cferror tags in the so-called pseudo constructor section of the application CFC? You should.
