Bad url

[DrStern]

Hi all,
Is there any solution for taking the uset to a "customized" error page in case they enter a wrong url within our site?
In other words, if the correct URL is

http://mydomain/myFile.cfm

and by mistake they enter

http://mydomain/myFil.cfm,

the system should take them to an "error" page. Can that be accomplished by using the <cferror> tag?

In advance, thank you!

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think so. That would cause a 404 error, which would need to be handled by your server (such as IIS). In IIS you can make custom error pages for the different server errors (403, 404, 500, etc.)

The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts agree, is by accident. That's where we come in; we're computer professionals. We cause accidents.

he's right, but like him i'm not sure how to do it. ask the forum for the webserver you're using. IIS, appache, etc...

Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers.
