Handling missing template errors

Missing template errors occur when ColdFusion receives an HTTP request for a page ending in .cfm that it cannot find. You can create your own missing template error page to present application-specific information or provide an application-specific appearance. You specify the missing template error page on the Administrator Settings page.

The missing error page can use CFML tags and variables. In particular, you can use the CGI.script_name variable in text such as the following to identify the requested page:

<cfoutput>The page #Replace(CGI.script_name, "/", "")# is not available.<br>
Make sure that you entered the page correctly.<br>
</cfoutput>

(In this code, the Replace function removes the leading slash sign from the script name to make the display more friendly.)
