Hi,
We're re-structuring a site and I need to make our 404 page intelligent -
use the requested URL and search params to re-direct the visitor to the
replacement page. ErrorDocument 404 /404.cfm is invoking the 404 script, but
CF's not seeing any useful CGI variables.
The Apache manuals say "Redirecting to another URL can be useful, but only
if some information can be passed which can then be used to explain and/or
log the error/problem more clearly. To achieve this, Apache will define new
CGI-like environment variables, e.g. .... At least REDIRECT_URL and
REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING will be passed to the new URL (assuming it's a
cgi-script or a cgi-include)." But my CF code is getting empty strings in
CGI.REDIRECT_URL and CGI.REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING and these variables are not
listed at all in my CF debug output.
My development set-up uses Apache under Windows. Here's the Apache
configuration for my development set-up (all in Apache\conf\httpd.conf, no
.htaccess). Sorry for the length - I include all of it so you can see if
I've made any mistakes. I guess the most important part is the Virtual Hosts
section at the bottom.
