I'm trying to redirect requests for non-existent files to a cfm file using
Apache with mod_rewrite. Works perfect using an .htaccess file, but results in
a JRun Servlet Error (403 Forbidden) if I create similar rules directly in
httpd.conf. The rules I'm using:
..htaccess
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.cfm?action=%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]
httpd.conf
RewriteLog logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteCond C:/wwwroot%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.cfm?action=%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]
In both cases, the rewrite log file confirms the actual rewrite is successful:
go-ahead with C:/wwwroot/index.cfm [OK]
I'm *guessing* the reason JRun works fine with the .htaccess rules but throws a
403 error with the httpd.conf rules has to do with system-scope rules happening
earlier in the request process than directory-scope rules (thus the reason
%{REQUEST_FILENAME} doesn't yet contain C:/wwwroot).
Anyone have a better understanding why this problem occurs and/or a workaround
that doesn't require using .htaccess?
