cfthrow and cfwheels

[Craig Girard]

I have a app I am converting to cfwheels.  The app uses custom cfthrow tags for everything, even requirement messages.  I am unable to modify them all in a short period of time, so I am stuck with many for now.  When cfthrow is called cf / cfwheels just displays a 500-internal server error message.  Has anyone seen this behavior before and have any idea how to fix it?  

Thanks.

The error message that you're seeing is here:

/events/onerror.cfm

You typically don't want to be showing ColdFusion error messages to end users in production. I'm not sure if that's what you're intending to do, and I'm unclear on what you mean by "how to fix it."

Our Exception Render plugin is my favorite way to work with exceptions thrown by our applications:

Wheels uses the error template at /events/onerror.cfm whose logic is powered by /wheels/events/onerror.cfm

You could either write a plugin to override $runOnError(), or you might try and see if `exception` and `eventName` are available in the public error handler (just try dumping those vars): must confess its not something I've done, as I generally try and hide thrown errors.. :)

Thanks guys.  onError isn't firing.  I can get it to run on my machine, by using <cfset set(showErrorInformation=false)> , but once it's up to the server I receive an internal server error.  I'll keep plugging along, not sure how I can explain it any different.  Crappy old code.

Are you using IIS?

In the past I've had problems with IIS overriding CF's error handling and showing its own page.

Yes, I am wondering if that is the issue.

[Per Djurner]

Very likely.

You can configure IIS to not override it.

I can't remember exactly what I did to fix it but I think something like what's mentioned here:

That did it!  Thank you!

No problem :)
