App Mappings dilema
The last couple years of my life as a CF developer have been plagued by painful settings on their webserver. They established app mappings to force all .htm and .html files to be parsed by CF so they could stick CF tags into existing, previously-static pages and not have to change filenames to add dynamic funcionality. Aside from the excess load on the sever, it worked fine under CF5 for the past few years. Last night I upgraded that webserver, finally, to CFMX 6.1 -- unfortunately, the app mappings didn't carry over. I reset them to point to C:\CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun.dll -- but that didn't do the trick. So then I edited the XML-based servlet mapping in the web.xml file, as per instructions I found here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/tn18289.htm Still no luck. But the strangest thing is I get a very vague, generic error message. It just says: Error Occurred While Processing Request and gives me the standard error box without any details other than my browser build and IP address. What happens is .cfm files parse and display fine. But .htm files throw that error every time. If I rename a .htm file that contains no CF tags, and I just change the extension to .cfm, it renders fine. Does anyone know what I could be missing? Thanks in advance for any help... I'm in kind of a hurry because I don't want to back out of this upgrade but the sun has risen... Brian [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
Re: App Mappings dilema
Brian, I've never known CF to parse html files, in any of it's incarnations. I've known other servers (Apache, IIS, etc.) to parse the html files, while the CF on top of it parsed all the cfml files, but I've never seen it any other way. Someone let me know if I'm wrong here.

Re: App Mappings dilema
I've never known CF to parse html files, in any of it's incarnations. CF will parse anything as CFML if the HTTP server asks it to do. The setting is in the HTTP server. -- ___ See some cool custom tags here: http://www.contentbox.com/claude/customtags/tagstore.cfm Please send any spam to this address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks.
