Basic Setup Issues with URL Rewrite in IIS 7

[Chris G]

I'm setting up a new instance of wheels in hopes I can convince my work to refactor our code base using this framework. I'm having some basic issues setting up.

============ URL Rewrite Issue ===================

I'm on IIS 7 using CFWheels 1.1.8. I've installed the microsoft rewrite module and set(URLRewriting="on"); in settings.cfm. However, once I uncomment the rewrite rule in web.config, no matter what controller/action/route I request (whether it exists or not), i get the home route. Anyone else had this issue? 

To be more clear, all of the following result in the home route being shown...

• http://domain.com/
• http://domain.com/login (this route exists, but shows the home route)
• http://domain.com/undefinedroute (this route is not defined and should result in 404, but instead goes to the home route)

/config/routes.cfm

<cfscript>

addRoute(name="login", pattern="/login", controller="home", action="login");

addRoute(name="home", pattern="", controller="home", action="home");

</cfscript>

/config/settings.cfm

<cfscript>

set(URLRewriting="on");

</cfscript>

Have you tried placing the home route above the login route?

Yes, that's how it was originally. I switched them hoping that would fix it

After you switched them did you remember to reload?

[Chris Geirman]

yes, have reloaded multiple times. 

Keep in mind that the problem goes away if I comment out the rewrite rule in web.config (though rewriting doesn't happen)

Also keep in mind that I get the home route even when I call a URL that should 404

Have you uncomment url rewrote in the web.config file?

Yes, the problem only materializes with the rewrite uncommented in web.config. With it commented, I get URLs such as /index.cfm/login

Is your website in the root folder? Or in a folder in your root folder? If it's the latter, you'll have to modify the web.config file to reflect your web structure.

[Simon Allard]

Here's an example of a web.config file if your webiste is in a folder on your root folder. Just replace myKickAssWebSite by yourKickAssWebSite ;)

<configuration>
	<system.webServer>
		<rewrite>

			<rules>
				<rule name="ColdFusion on Wheels URL Rewriting" enabled="true">

					<match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="true" />
					<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">

						<add input="{SCRIPT_NAME}" negate="true" pattern="^/myKickAssWebSite/(flex2gateway|jrunscripts|cfide|cfformgateway|railo-context|files|images|javascripts|miscellaneous|stylesheets|fonts|plugins/BlueImp|robots.txt|sitemap.xml|rewrite.cfm)($|/.*$)" />
					</conditions>
					<action type="Rewrite" url="/myKickAssWebSite/rewrite.cfm/{R:1}" />
				</rule>
			</rules>
		</rewrite>

	</system.webServer>
</configuration>

[Chris Geirman]

thanks Simon... wheels is in the root though, so that's not the problem. 

[jjallen]

Have you tried removing the leading slash from your login route? i.e.:

addRoute(name="login", pattern="login", controller="home", action="login");

[Chris G]

Thanks jjallen,

I have now. Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't help. I have another website with this working fine, so I took that web.config and used it. There were differences. unfortunately, that didn't fix the problem. I have the exact same route setup on that server too and it works fine, but for some reason I can't get it to work on this new server. 

[Simon Allard]

Which cfml engine are you using? Railo, ColdFusion? And version?

[Chris Geirman]

Adobe 10

[Simon Allard]

Chris, is your CF 10 server fully updated? All the latest patches/hot fixes installed? If not check this link: http://blogs.coldfusion.com/post.cfm/coldfusion-10-update-1-10-0-1-released, it may be the cause of your problem.

Thank you... I'll check this out tomorrow
