Question

ColdFusion 10, IIS 7.5, and custom 404 page

I am attempting to setup a custom 404 error with CF10 and IIS 7.5. Previous to CF10 (and IIS 7), you can get the URL of the non-existent page via the querystring (e.g., 404;http://www.example.com/some/file.html) when the custom 404 page is processed. However, with CF10 and IIS 7.5, the querystring returns 404;http://www.example.com/jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll. Is there a way to retrieve the actual URL of the missing path, like in prior versions?

FYI I've created a bug report for this issue earlier here: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3630245 You can vote on getting this fixed there.

Was this ever resolved? Update 11 got us closer with using our custom 404, but then we hit this issue.

I never found a solution...Very frustrating.

@vishu#13, having a 302 redirect to a 404 error sounds a bit strange, and may not be good for SEO.

@colfaxschuyler, in your web.config, remove the httpErrors container and replace with this one tag:

Please see if that helps, at all.

Custom 404's in ColdFusion 10 are a PITA. We still can't get non .cfm templates to 404 to a custom page and Adobe just do not have a clue!

I've got the same issue. Just curious, are you doing any URL redirection? For me, I have IIRF running and catching all 404s so I can do custom "search engine friendly" URLs. The issue with jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll only occurs when I try to access a non-existant .cfm file (oddly doesn't occur when dealing with folders or other file types).

I have not found a solution, but Miguel-F pointed me to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18694932/coldfusion-10-iis-non-existant-urls-that-are-cfm-files-retrieving-original-u which has a possible solution.

Thanks for the link. I did some fiddling and found a workaround using IIRF. I posted instructions on the stackoverflow page you posted. I think this is a bug that Adobe should address.

Did you ever figure this out?

I came across CF10 and custom 404 issue. This might help.

I tried that, but that didn't fix it. The custom 404 works fine, it's just the redirect that's not returning what I expect.

Hi. That doesn't solve my issue. The CGI.Querystring is still returning 404;http://my.dev.server.com:80/jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll

Just for testing purpose, can you add a new site in IIS. Configure connector with that website using wsconfig and place the 404.cfm in this website's root. Add jakarta as virtual directory under this new site if it is not there (it will show up as you will configure the connector for this website). Follow the above steps and then share your findings.

Is jakarta (virtual directory) added in your website under IIS?

Yes. I should also mention that this legacy app still uses Application.cfm, so I can't use the OnMissingTemplate function of Application.cfc

what do you get if you dump the CGI scope?

I don't get the original path in Script_Name, Path_Info, or Querystring. Really, nothing that tells me that a 404 occured,
