Have web site errors emailed to you
This tutorial will allow you to enable sitewide error handling with CFERROR. Look like a real professional and display your own custom error page when an error has occurred, instead of the default Cold Fusion page. Not only that, once the error page has been displayed, the details of the error will be automatically emailed to you.
