404 woes

[Tim Welford]

Hi, I have recently move several applications from ACF to Lucee, all is well, except for getting 404 pages to work for missing cfm templates

Exception handling works fine.

I'm running IIS 8 on 2k12, tomcat 8, latest lucee
Custom error pages are set in IIS for pages other than .cfm and this works fine, but when I specify the 404.cfm (or 404.htm - i tried both) in the "Missing Template Error (404)" field on Lucee web admin, it doesn't appear to work.
I've tried paths relative to the root, full absolute drive paths both with forward and back slashes (restarting tomcat with each change), nothing seems to make a difference.  There's nothing in application.cfm / application.cfc to override the web content settings.

If a missing template is called, it always falls back to the general error template.

Has anyone got any hints or tips, i'm pulling my hair out!

Thanks

Have you tried this in Application.cfc?

 public boolean function onMissingTemplate(required string TargetPage) {
 header statusCode=404;
 echo("Page not found");
 return true;
 }

Not yet, the applications I am moving are a mix or .cfc and .cfm (imherited) and I was hoping for a solution that would work on them all.
What page does that actually return though? I need something that is friendly for the user.
Can I use that and "include" the custom 404 page before the return true?

Works on Application.cfm also, and yes you can include a custom cfm template.
