Hi Nate. Another suggestion/approach for your marketing URL may be to use a dns wildcard like: easytoremember.domain.com Unsure how apache/solaris supports it but here is the cf Dave Watts suggested to me sometime back (been using it since):
<cfswitch expression="#CGI.HTTP_HOST#"> <cfcase value="easytoremember1.domain.com"> ... </cfcase> <cfcase value="easytoremember2.domain.com"> ... </cfcase> <cfdefaultcase> ... </cfdefaultcase> </cfswitch> HTH > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 3:35 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Handling "Marketing URLs" > > This may be somewhat off topic but... > > I am trying to figure out the best way to handle "marketing URLs", or URLs > like: www.domain.com/easytoremember where easytoremember doesen't exist as > a > directory on the server. > Would it be recommended to use a special 404 error handler on the server, > URL > rewrites or something else? > I have tried defining a .cfm file as a 404 error handler in which I tried > to > parse out the requested URL as entered into the browser using > cgi.request_uri > (apache), but it only provides me with the path of the error handler > itself. > I am using CFMX 7/apache/solaris. > > Thanks, > > Nate > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:254834 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
