CF 9 Site - turn off "Enable Robust Exception"
Hi,
I maintain a CF9 Site on Windows 2008. I am not the one who wrote the site though I am a programmer.
The site was recently hacked and I posted here on EE to get help in locking it down.
One thing I found online was to disable "Enable Robust Exception". I went into CF admin and unclicked the box, but when I submit the changes, the box automatically is checked again.
I thought possibly the two boxes below it also needed to be uncheck (Enable Ajax Log Window and Enable Request Debugging output), so I tried unchecking those as well. But they all come back checked when I submit changes.
Then I found a suggestion online to put this at the top of my Application.cfc file
<cfset this.enablerobustexception = false />
I tried that and restarted the CF Application service but I still can't uncheck the "Enable Robust Exception" checkbox.
Any ideas or suggestions as to what is stopping me from un-checking it?
Thanks,
Nacht

Silly question, but did you rule out the basics like cached page or javascript error occurring on the admin screen?
You can always change it in the config files. Make a backup of {cf_root}\lib\neo-debug.xm
<var name='robust_enabled'><boo
Change the value to "false" and restart CF.
