Hi all, even though my cferror.cfm file location is recognized by cf admin. The cf admin is not able to call the error file when there is an error... I am using MX 7.2... Any help appreciated...

I do something similar, calling the site-wide error page and emailing me the error info. How are you outputting the error itself? Are you sure it exists once CF loads the site-wide error page?

here is my sample cferror...CF admin says "backgroundcolor" is undefined...

<cftry>
<cfcatch type="any">
<cfswitch expression="#cfcatch.type#">
<cfcase value="template"><cfset backgroundcolor = "lightsteelblue"></cfcase>
<cfcase value="expression"><cfset backgroundcolor = "blanchedalmond"></cfcase>
<cfcase value="database"><cfset backgroundcolor = "linen"></cfcase>
<cfdefaultcase><cfset backgroundcolor = "darkkhaki"></cfdefaultcase>
</cfswitch>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
<cfset chop = len(GetBaseTemplatePath()) - 9>

<cfoutput>
<div style="border:solid 1px green; background : #backgroundcolor#;">
<h2>THE REQUESTED PAGE IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE... PLEASE RE-VISIT IN APPROXIMATELY 30 MINS. </h2>
</div>
</cfoutput>


<cfinclude template="footer.cfm">

I'd guess the cfcatch isn't actually being called? In your cfcatch type="any" block put in some text like "I failed!" instead of setting any variables, see if it gets displayed when an error happens. I usually check for the existence of cferror because calling any values inside of it.
