Hi Jon, thanks for the reply! I'm far from an expert on Apache; in my httpd.conf, I don't seem to have any rewrite rules at all. Where would I put these? Inside the virtualHost section for my redirect app?
If it helps any, we're running Railo 4.2.1 on Tomcat 7, not sure if that affects the Apache config. Thanks a bunch!
