Change JRun's 404 message?

Hi, Anyone know how to change ColdFusion 8's (on Windows/IIS) default 404 message that JRun spits out? When someone requests foo.jsp (or ANY other *.jsp) and it doesn't exist, I'd love to change that message - better yet, I'd love to redirect it to a single template that will respond to all server 404's (JRun and IIS). Any help/advice is appreciated. Thanks! Dan

In your IIS settings, there should be an option for the ISAPI filter or extension mapping called "Verify that file exists."  If you enable that, IIS will verify that the file being called on the URL exists on disk before passing the request to the filter.  If the file doesn't exist, it will use the 404 error rule defined within IIS instead of passing to the filter to process.  You can specify a URL such as /404.cfm and IIS will launch that with the original URL requested on the query string so that it can be processed accordingly.  (This is based on IIS6, not sure if the same applies to 7) I believe there is also a missing template handler setting in the ColdFusion administrator for ColdFusion to handle missing files directly if desired. It's been a long time since I've had a need to use that. -Justin

There is, but I think it's just for CF files, not JSP.

If you're using IIS, can't you just let the 404's bubble up from JRun and have IIS handle it? I thought that was possible... :Den -- Man is not the lord of beings. Man is the shepherd of Being. Martin Heidegger ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Will just enabling the Verify that file exists setting in IIS break things or were you just referring to using a 404.cfm file?

----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- Yes, just enabling the "verify that file exists" option will break these things, because IIS will then throw 404s for specific legitimate URL patterns that CF recognizes.

Hmm.. it didn't work. I found the jsp mapping, chose Edit and selected "Verify that file exists". Still shows the JRun error.  Restarted the service and even the server to see if that was required to activate it.  Nope - still get standard JRun 404 message. I don't mind if this "breaks" things.  Currently this is a server serving one purpose - to take redirects from other systems while they're "down".  This is temporary, so when done, I will undo the changes and get it back up and running as a (dev) CF server. Should I also remove (or modify??) the executable path of C:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\jrun_iis6.dll? Any help/advice on getting JRun NOT to respond, and get my custom 404s working (which they do for all other requests) is much appreciated. Thanks!

Got it!
