Wow. Thanks Russ. That wasn't exactly what was wrong, but you put the
solution right in front of me. :)
(I guess now would be a good time to mention that this is actually a
Railo/Tomcat/IIS install? Oops...forgot that in my original post.)
In the Tomcat web.xml file there was a section for servlet mappings.
Among the entries there, I found this:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>GlobalCFMLServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/index.cfm/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
So, I said to myself, "Hey, that looks like it wants to process a
cgi.path_info variable. I wonder what happens if I add an entry like
that for page.cfm?" Once I did that and bounced Tomcat, it all worked
correctly. So, thank you for helping me find the answer. I didn't
realize this was a Tomcat issue, I would have sworn up and down that the
error I was getting was from IIS. Oh well, seems like I've got some
Tomcat/IIS issues to figure out. I'll pester the Railo list of that. :)
Thanks,
