Help with rewriting CFWheels rule in web.config

[Cathy Shapiro]

Hey you guys,

I have a situation where I need to change the web.config rewriting
rule that we use for CFWheels.
Instead of listing the files and folders to exclude, I need the rule
to exclude everything except what I list in the rule.
So in the rule, I would only have the wheels files and folders
listed.
Before I dust off my regular expressions book, has anyone already done
this or know an easy fix?

thanks,
Cathy

That doesn't make sense to me... could you explain a bit more?

Hey Andy,

Sure. My client has an IIS7 server running Coldfusion 8.
They have a lot of proprietary software on their server and say their directories change a lot.

They are running the website that I built in CFWheels in the root of their server (why? I don't know and can't control), and they want the URL rewriting to only affect the CFWheels files and directories.

Their software is so proprietary that they can't even give me a listing of the directories so I could exclude them in the web.config file.

So you see my quandary.

thanks,

Cathy

Hi Cathy,

Just remove the "negate" parameter from  <add input="{SCRIPT_NAME}" negate="true" you will get the result you want.

This will be a little pain for you because you have to list everything for your app. For example, you might have mydomain/dashboard/index. dashboard is really your controller, but you will need to list it because
on the url it looks like a folder. You'll see when you try it. Good luck, I don't see why they can't just run your app in a subdirectory:)

I just wanted to clarify when you remove negate what it's really saying is "Only apply URL rewriting to what I have listed"

Hey Risto,

Thanks so much!  I had tried that, and had the home page running, but couldn't figure out why the rest of the pages wouldn't load. Now I get it! You are a lifesaver, really!
:)
