In addition to configuring your web server, you also have to configure CF by
editing web.xml, which is typically located in \cfusionmx\wwwroot\WEB-INF or
\jrun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF depending on whether
you installed CFMX with the default server configuration or multiserver
configuration.
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xls</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xls/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
However, I'd recommend that you not do this. Instead, just use .cfm files
and specify the appropriate HTTP response headers to prompt the client to
download the files with the extension you want:
