Craig + anyone else who might be interested in this info, We are running with Farcry 3.0 on our production sites with friendly urls working *without* the servlet. I will loosely describe our configuration here for anyone who is interested. We are running IIS 6, on Windows Server 2003, MySQL 4.1.8, ColdFusion MX 6.1. We run multiple Farcry instances under a single domain. The web addresses vary, depending on the instance. For example: Instance 1: http://domain.com/ Instance 2: http://domain.com/instance2/ Instance 3: http://domain.com/~instance3/ Instance 4: http://domain.com/something/instance4/ The Admin addresses all conform to a particular format, for example: Instance 1: http://domain.com/farcry/instance1_admin/ Instance 2: http://domain.com/farcry/instance2_admin/ And so on... We have an apps.cfm file that looks for the 'instance1' or 'instance2' (or whatever) part of the admin url and sets the stApps struct accordingly, so the correct instance's application.cfm is loaded. (I'm not sure if this is still necessary, but it's how we've been running since Farcry 2.3) The friendly url prefix for each instance is something like '/go/instance1/'. So all of our friendly urls start with '/go/', and then go on to be specific to an instance. We have set up ISAPI_Rewrite with IIS. See http://www.isapirewrite.com. We are using the lite version (the free one). We have our own authentication system (we're a department at a University, The University manages the authentication system), and we require SSL for this. We used to add a couple of lines to Application.cfm files to require SSL, but have now switched to using a rule in the ISAPI_Rewrite config file. That rule looks something like this: RewriteCond %HTTPS OFF RewriteRule /go/instance2/(.*) https://domain.com/go/instance2/$1 [I,L,R] Then the ISAPI_Rewrite rule for friendly urls for instance2 looks like this: RewriteRule /go/instance2([^\?]*)(?:\?(.*))? /instance2/go.cfm\?path=/go/instance2$1&$2 [I,L] The ([^\?]*) is regular expression speak for "zero or more non-question mark characters" - This will get the string of the rest of the friendly url path The (?:\?(.*))? is regular expression speak for "string of all characters after a question-mark, if any" - This will get the 'query_string'. The extended path gets added to the path url parameter and the query_string is appended, when the appropriate go.cfm is called. If you just have a single farcry web with friendly urls at /go/, your rule might just be: RewriteRule /go([^\?]*)(?:\?(.*))? /go.cfm\?path=/go$1&$2 [I,L,R] I didn't dig too deeply, so a set of options different from I,L,R might be better. Hope this is helpful! -Tyler
