Interesting, I'd never thought of doing it with mod_rewrite. That module is amazing. Damn confusing sometimes, but amazing none the less. Have to play with doing it that way.
As for the XML file to allow files outside the approot, any idea what file it might be? I didn't see anything even remotely promsising on my cursory scan of the XML files in the web root. It seems like it should be a CF-related file, rather than one pertaining to the underlying J2EE server, but I could be way off base. cheers, barneyb --- Barney Boisvert, Senior Development Engineer AudienceCentral [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice : 360.756.8080 x12 fax : 360.647.5351 www.audiencecentral.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Sean A Corfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 12:45 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: I remember...a macintosh version of > cfmx...but...can't...find...it... > > > On Tuesday, Jun 24, 2003, at 11:10 US/Pacific, Barney Boisvert wrote: > > Say you've got Tomcat w/ CFMX running, along with an Apache 2 install, > > and > > you want to connect Tomcat to Apache to share the job of serving > > content. > > How would you go about doing it? > > You have several options. > > > The ideal setup would allow CF pages to > > reside outside /cfusion, and the Apache/Tomcat connector would be > > mod_jk2. > > CF pages can reside anywhere - you can change the document root in one > of the XML files.
