description: URL rewriting instructions for Apache
Apache
Instructions for Apache
First in your web.xml add the following servlet mapping above the default servlet mapping:
{% code title="web.xml" %}
<!-- The mapping for rewriting -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CFMLServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/rewrite.cfm/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
{% endcode %}
For this you can use the global web.xml that for instance can be found at: /opt/lucee/tomcat/conf/web.xml. Or, if you are on shared hosting, use a local web.xml that for instance can be found at: yourwebroot/WEB-INF/web.xml.
After that use the following .htaccess file and Apache will pick up and use them automatically on server start-up.
Most of the time this will work. There are some exceptions though...
If you have installed Apache yourself you may need to turn on the rewrite module and/or change the security settings before URL rewriting will work:
- Check that the Apache
rewrite_modulehas been loaded by ensuring there are no pound signs before the line that saysLoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.soin thehttpd.conffile. - Make sure that Apache has permission to load the rewrite rules from the
.htaccessfile. This is done by settingAllowOverridetoAllunder the Directory section corresponding to the website you plan on using Wheels on (still inside thehttpd.conffile).
If you have an older version of Apache and you're trying to run your Wheels site in a sub folder of an existing site you may need to hard code the name of this folder in your rewrite rules.
- Change the last line of the
.htaccessfile to the following:RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /sub_folder_name_goes_here/rewrite.cfm/$1 [L]. Don't forget to changesub_folder_name_goes_hereto the actual folder name first of course.
{% code title=".htaccess" %}
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/index.cfm/(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*/index.cfm/(.*)$ ./rewrite.cfm/$1 [NS,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*/(flex2gateway|jrunscripts|cfide|cf_scripts|cfformgateway|cffileservlet|lucee|files|images|javascripts|miscellaneous|stylesheets|wheels/public/assets|robots.txt|favicon.ico|sitemap.xml|rewrite.cfm)($|/.*$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./rewrite.cfm/$1 [NS,L]
{% endcode %}
Note that it's often considered better practice to include this URL rewriting configuration at the <virtualhost> block level, but get it working with a .htaccess file first.
