Add to it, our support site which was on Rackspace cloud is down for the past 3 days. And nobody knows what triggered this! There is apparently a conflict between Zend and PHP when everyone claims nobody did any changes to the configuration of either of them!

While this seems like a minor problem it is VERY annoying when I have to scroll down hundreds of pages to get back to place on a PDF. I'm about to microwave the freaking thing!

I did like some people said on the forum said, removed a crappy app I don't really use, and then reinstalled it... it 'reauthorized' at the app store by asking for my username/password, and then installed the crappy app... now all work again.

You can roll your own URL mapping way, and then simply check the "cgi.query_string" in your 404 handler page. The old page URL will be in there. Then you will match the old URL to the new one and do something simple like: <cfset variables.cNewPageUrl = "" /><!--- do the matching here and populate this variable ---> <cfif len(variables.cNewPageUrl)> <cfheader statuscode="301" statustext="Moved permanently" /> <cfheader name="location" value="http://[yourwebsite]/#variables.cNewPageUrl#" /> <cfelse> <cfheader statuscode="404" statustext="The page cannot be found" /> <html> <body> Your custom 404 page content goes here </body> </html> </cfif> I guess I should have escaped my posted code :o ) Let’s try again…
