web.config and .htaccess

famerdave · 11-29-2011, 11:54 PM

Hope this is the correct section, but i have the web.config, I need converted to a .htaccess

It seems the site was developed on a coldfusion windows server, and I'm moving it to a CF Linux Server. It was done on IIS6 so the rewrite code the orginally developer did is WAY confusing, and is using like a custom 404 at site_control.cfm

Btw, the Index file just loads site_control.cfm

Code:

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="/site_control.cfm"/>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

I'm hoping you can help, and this will fix it.

This was moved to the Coldfusion area, but maybe Apache config would be a better area? Thanks

Yeah, definitely an Apache question. I don't know too too much about Apache, but I believe you can just use the ErrorDocument directive in the apache config file. Ex:

Code:

ErrorDocument 404 /site_control.cfm

Or you might be able to do that on a per-directory basis with a .htaccess file in the particular directory you're interested in.
