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!
