If anyone looks at those URLS.. pretend I said this instead: http://url.rickroot.com/u/12345
And pretend I said my rewrite url is actually this: RewriteRule ^\/u\/(.*) /index.cfm?id=$1 [L] I still get "forbidden" anytime I try to access a URL that wouldn't normally be handled by coldfusion.. it's a JRun Servlet Error forbidden though, not your usual apache forbidden.
