Hi all. Our Apache (v2.0) is running on Windows Server 2003 and I’m running into some strange behavior that I can’t figure out. I’m currently testing an Alias, and it only seems to work up to a certain point. In my httpd.conf, I’ve tested the following using the URL
http://blah.blah.com/cfide/administrator :
DocumentRoot "D:/MyStuff/webroot"
SUCCESS!
Alias /cfide/administrator "D:/" (goes to correct file located in D:/index.cfm)
SUCCESS!
Alias /cfide/administrator "D:/MyStuff" (goes to correct file located in D:/MyStuff/index.cfm)
SUCCESS!
Alias /cfide/administrator "D:/MyStuff/CFIDE" (goes to correct file located in D:/MyStuff/CFIDE/index.cfm)
FAIL!
Alias /cfide/administrator "D:/MyStuff/CFIDE/administrator" (goes to D:/MyStuff/webroot/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm???)
It never tried looking under DocumentRoot in my first 3 tests so why would it start now? Is there a bug that prevents mapping an alias to a physical directory with the same name?
Thanks! |

D:/MyStuff/webroot/CFIDE/administrator |

| that's the thing. I don't want it go to D:/MyStuff/webroot/CFIDE/administrator. I want it to go to D:/MyStuff/CFIDE/administrator. |

i don't have any other alias' in there except for the ones that apache automatically puts in there.
i tested another directory and it works just fine even if the alias name does match the physical location. So, i think it's something with the index file in that particular directory that's causing apache to redirect to the documentroot. unfortunately, when i open up the index file, it's all wingdings so i can't tell what exactly it's doing.
other people who are running coldfusion suggested i map /CFIDE rather than /CFIDE/administrator. i tried it and it works so i guess it'll just leave it at that.
Thanks for the help. |
