I am not using Apache. I am using IIS because that is what my customers are using.

It's Microsoft's fault that .htaccess doesnât work with IIS? If you mean it doesnât work with apache on Windows... well that's your fault, not Fuc**ng Microsoft's since you are apparently doing something wrong -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Sorge [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 4:34 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Is this the best approach?

As an alternative to dynamically creating/managing directories and copying code into them, here is what I have done in the past. Each time a "sweepstake" is added, modified or deleted, we recreated a .htaccess file in the root directory that sets up redirects for each sweepstake. So /sweepstakeName redirects to /sweepstakes/index.cfm?sweepstakes_ID=45 or /sweepstakes/index.cfm?sweepstakes_Title=SweepstakeName If you want the user to stay at /sweepstakename all the time and not be redirected, you could write out mod_rewrite lines instead. I'm not saying thats a better way of doing it, just another way. I prefer to have as few pieces of code-generated-code as possible. Also you might want to think of having an "active" flag, so a sweepstake could still exist and be viewed in the admin side, without actually giving users access to it. -Ryan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:270541 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
