Hi Steve,

I think I've already got 'friendly' URLs covered, assuming that http://domain.com/index.cfm/pageid is considered 'friendly'...

What I mean by memorable is to remove the 'index.cfm' and just have http://domain.com/pageid but still have the request processed through index.cfm. That URL results in a 404 error and I've been able to handle that by redirecting the error to index.cfm but the problem is that the redirect doesn't include the 'pageid'. I'm looking at mod_rewrite as an option but it is all a bit cryptic...

Thanks,

Brett

Hi Jon,

I did find 'rewrite' but I'm not much chop as far as regex goes. And I'm probably going to add an 'errorDocument' directive in any case so if I can just get to the original URL somehow that will help me solve two problems in one go...

Thanks,

Brett

That seems like a bit of an ugly solution to me. I would think some
URL rewrite rulesets would do it.

As for what rules, I have no idea. :)

I thought that was a great idea so I set out this morning to work out
how to do it. The solution (I think) is in the webserver configuration
(Apache in this case) and I've added an 'ErrorDocument' directive for
404 errors that points to index.cfm... The redirection works OK but my
problem is in accessing the original URL, or at least the 'pagename'
part of it, which doesn't appear anywhere in the CGI info...
