Forcing CF to send a request back to Apache?
Okay, this is complicated, and I apologize for that. First of all, our website runs a mix of Cold Fusion and Perl scripts. This is generally fine, except that Perl scripts don't run if the context-root in included in the path to the script. Is there a way to force the Cold Fusion server to send an HTTP request back to Apache?Thus, http://mysite.com/cfmx/perl/script.pl would become http://mysite.com/perl/script.pl As it is, if the context-root is included in the URL for the Perl script, the script doesn't run and the user sees the Perl source code instead. Any thoughts? -- Richard S.

Re: Forcing CF to send a request back to Apache?
You can't make CF do it, but you can certainly do that with mod_rewrite.These two rules should be pretty close, though they might not be perfect.(obviously assume your server has mod_rewrite enabled): RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/cfmx(.*\.pl)$ /$1.pl [L] The rewrite phase of Apache's request processing happens before it hand off to JRun/CFMX, so the request will be moved out of the CFMX context root before being sent to CF at all. cheers, barneyb On Fri, 03 Sep 2004 12:54:54 -0700, Richard Crawford [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Okay, this is complicated, and I apologize for that.

This is just a shot in the dark, but maybe you could address this with mod_rewrite in Apache?

It worked with a bit of modification: RewriteRule ^/cfmx(.*\.pl)$ /$1 [L] This puts two /'s in the URL before the filename for some reason, but if I insert another / between cfmx and (.*\.pl), I get a redirection error. This will do for now.Also, with the .pl after the $1, the URL had two .pl's appended. ;-) Thanks! -- Richard S.

Re: Forcing CF to send a request back to Apache?
Whoops, my bad.I bet if you remove the / before the $1 it'll fix the double slash problem too.That's what I get for shooting that off the cuff on a Friday afternoon, immediately before a holiday weekend. Glad it worked enough to get you going though. cheers, barneyb On Fri, 03 Sep 2004 16:00:52 -0700, Richard Crawford [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Barney Boisvert wrote: You can't make CF do it, but you can certainly do that with mod_rewrite.These two rules should be pretty close, though they might not be perfect.(obviously assume your server has mod_rewrite enabled): RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/cfmx(.*\.pl)$ /$1.pl [L] The rewrite phase of Apache's request processing happens before it hand off to JRun/CFMX, so the request will be moved out of the CFMX context root before being sent to CF at all.
