You could also use ISAPI rewrite to do this...Or HTTAccess with Apache (I don't use it so I cant lend much help).
Basically you set up regex in the config file to look for URL patterns and it manipulates IIS to server the file you tell it to. Here is an example of a rule I have running on one of my sites: #all manufacturers listed with pagination RewriteRule /brands/(.*)/page:([0-9]*) /\?path=brands&man=$1&page=$2 [I,L] This rule converts this: http://www.mysite.com/brands/a-e/page:2 in to this http://www.mysite.com/?path=brands&man=a-e&page=2 However, in your case you could use something like this: #for root level files RewriteRule /(.*).cfm /foo.cfm [I,L] #for child files in any directory RewriteRule /(.*)/(.*).cfm /foo.cfm [I,L] #rinse, wash and repeat... I found using this far more easy than messing around with the cf stuff...plus you can use it for far more apps. It's not free, but it's worth every dime IMHO! -Joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Daniel Elmore Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 2:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Web Server Redirect On File Extension Eric, that sounds promising, I have been confused about the template handler, perhaps you can help. The description of it in the CF admin cracks me up because the grammer is so bad I can't even understand it's purpose. "Specify the relative path to a template to execute a cfinclude tag cannot find a requested template." It's seems to say that it will only execute on a failed <cfinclude template=""> call, this will not help my problem, if that is true.

They are I guess, fake file names. Sorry I should have said that first. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Knipp, Eric Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 1:26 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: Web Server Redirect On File Extension This is going to seem cheesy, but in the application.cfm, couldn't you check the name of the page and based on that perform your include? Eric -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Elmore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 1:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Web Server Redirect On File Extension I need to redirect all requests for .cfml files to one particular .cfm file. When the user goes to www.mysite.com/test.cfml the url should not change but should instead load cfml_files.cfm. (I guess this isn't a true redirect but more of wildcard include). I am not using apache but IIS, I know that would have make this easier. Is there a way to do this in CFMX's xml configuration files? Thanks!
