In circumstances when you need to enable robust exceptions for a site, here are the steps needed:

You can configure this at the site level within your Application.cfc using the "this.EnableRobustException" property:

Example "Application.cfc" file:

<cfcomponent>
    <cfset this.Name = "My Application Name" />
    <cfset this.EnableRobustException = "True" />
</cfcomponent>


Example for restricting based on IP address:

<cfcomponent>
    <cfset this.Name = "My Application Name" />
    <cfif CGI.REMOTE_ADDR EQ "123.123.123.123">
         <cfset this.EnableRobustException = "True" />
    </cfif>
</cfcomponent>

NOTE: Replace 123.123.123.123 with your actual IP address.
