Cool, I would have thought that IIS would not send the specified 404 page back to coldfusion, in the case of it having a cfm extension. I guess it does. I would need to use that setting "Check that file exists." in the .cfml extension configuration in IIS, I suppose. Thanks, I'll see if this will work.

I just created a site that does this sort of thing but for another reason. In IIS set your 404 custom error page to: notfound.cfm In my case, here was the notfound.cfm code: <cfinclude template="header.cfm"> <cfquery datasource="#Application.DSN_source#" name="QCon"> select content, name, pageName from pages where active=1 and pageName='#listlast(CGI.QUERY_STRING,"/")#' </cfquery> <cfoutput>#QCon.content#</cfoutput> <cfinclude template="footer.cfm"> Of course yours would be, this logic and code: Take the default 404 page and paste it into your CFM page and then do a: <cfif listlast(CGI.QUERY_STRING,".") eq "cfml"> <cfinclude template="bob.cfm"> <cfelse> <!--- It's .html or .cfm or something else ---> Paste default 404 error page code here. </cfif> Pretty easy really, just be sure you do not include a non existant .cfml page in your cfinclude or you'll probably crash coldFusion and/or the server.

I don't trust ISAPI's much because you usually have to write them in C/C++ and therefore they have the potential to have memory leaks and lead to server crashes. I'm sure there's a way to do this in the web.xml file in CF's J2EE configuration, I need to research that. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Knipp, Eric Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 3:47 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: Web Server Redirect On File Extension Here we go .. there is a page in the IIS Admin that you can set .cfml to be processed by CFMX. From Web Site Properties, select the Home Directory panel, and then select Configuration. You can force .cfml, or .blah to get processed by the same thing that handles .cfm requests, that should work. Looks like for MX that the default is to process .cfml anyway.

I however would need this to work only for .cfml files and not .cfm files. I know these are crazy requirements, thats why I was looking for something at the web server level. Thanks for your time and thoughts.

Your URL will not be changed, but you will see a ColdFusion template, which is the site-wide missing template handler for us. In your case you could include a page here that includes whatever you need.

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.

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!
