>1 - I am using: >IIS 5 / CFMX 6.1 (latest update) I don't know of an easy way to get around this with IIS. The reason it works the .cfm extension is that, by default, IIS does not check for a file's existence before handing the request off to ColdFusion. You can see this in action by going to a non-existant CF page - you should get a ColdFusion error and not an IIS error.
To see the setting that controls this: 1) Go to the IIS Admin MMC 2) Right click on your website and select Properties 3) Click on the Home Directory tab 4) Click Configuration 5) Under the Mappings tab scroll down to the .cfm entry and click Edit 6) You should notice that at the bottom there is an option "Checck that file exists." This should be unchecked. If this option is checked the FU Servlet will not work because IIS will return a 404 error before handing the request off to CF. If you absolutely must have .html extensions you can configure IIS to hand all requests for .html files off to ColdFusion. I've never done it, but if your site only serves .cfm or you don't mind the added overhead when serving static .html files, this may be an option. >3 - >So I do have the mapping I just want to know why when I >generate the mapping it wont create 192.168.1.158/go/index.cfm It works with just 192.168.1.158/go/, correct? Do you need to have the index.cfm? --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
