CFMX Developers get rid of "Show Friendly HTTP error messages"

I keep hearing people on one list or another banging their heads against a wall with things like, "This is driving me nuts. I am getting the "Internal Server Error 500" error page instead of a CFMX error page and debugging information". There is a really simple fix!

If you are using IE, then the browser may intercept pages where the server status is 500 and render a "friendly" error message instead. This is very common if the HTML output is small. All you need to do is turn off this IE feature.

  • Go to tools / internet options / advanced
  • make sure "Show Friendly HTTP error messages" is not checked

That's all.
