Url rewrite from commandbox to apache tomcat error

[MvdO79]

Moving a project to production (from commandbox rewrites to apache tomcat) with rewrite enabled I have this .htaccess in the root:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> 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] </IfModule>

The index.cfm still exists in the path and when trying a route without the index I get an error:

Type: Status Report
Message: The requested resource [/rewrite.cfm/user/marco/9f1c2] is not available
Description: The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists.

So it's on shared hosting which might have an impact on how to setup the .htaccess, I am already asking support by them to check stuff on their end, but any thoughts? Thanks!

I've just come across this same problem when migrating from IIS to Apache (Wheels 2.5.1) - Either I get a blank page or I get a "not available" - When I try to hit the .root page, I simply get /rewrite/? in the browser

I see question was closed - Did you find a solution? I spend the later half of Friday trying to work this out.

And's with one line, Tom has solved the problem.

So, that needs to be added to the Apache instructions too as simply enabling the .htaccess no longer works. I added the change Tom suggested to Lucee's global /opt/lucee/tomcat/conf/web.xml in the CFMLServlet section.

Also, if we look at the examples from urlrewrite and web.config in the docs, neither have the first two lines the .htaccess example has. I've removed the lines

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/index.cfm/(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*/index.cfm/(.*)$ ./rewrite.cfm/$1 [NS,L]

from .htaccess and the site continues to work.

I am still trying to solve the problem, I closed it as I thought it was solved... Gonna try Tom's suggestion. I can update the docs to reflect above insights, will do!

For setting up apache.

On my shared hosting I can access "/WEB-INF" which has also a folder "lucee" in it.

Is it possible, and where, should I put the web.xml, urlrewrite.xml?
And where should I put the .htaccess file?

Or can / should I add the rewriting "/rewrite.com/*" in lucee/lucee-web.xml.cfm?

Or... is it really up to the hosting provider to put the rewriting in the global web.xml?

[dbelanger]

For shared environments, you can only do it locally and it should still be something like WEB-INF/lucee/tomcat/conf/web.xml. I don't have my shared environment anymore so I can't verify but I'm pretty sure that's how Lucee v5 handled multi-site.
For Apache, you don't need urlrewrite.xml, just that web.xml change and your .htaccess
The instructions for Apache are good, you just need to add a few lines about adding rewrite.cfm to the web.xml for Lucee servers.

Thanks @dbelanger , so just mimic the global path in the local folder, I will try that.
