CF redirect

[Phnoefniex]

Hello,

my webserver data are as follows:

ColdFusion 5 (is there a particular hotfix you are looking for)?
Windows Server 2003
IIS 6.1.

I would like to do a redirect.

Specification:

For the URL field:

1. If a user enters XXXX.com the user will be pointed to:
http://XXXX.com/MainPath/Main.html

2. If a user enters www.XXXX.com the user will be pointed to:
http://www.XXXX.com/MainPath/Main.html

3. If a user enters XXXX.com/name1 the user will be pointed to http://XXXX.com/Path1

4. If a user enters XXX.com/name2 the user will be pointed to http://XXXX.com/Path2

5. If a user enters XXX.com/name3 the user will be pointed to http://XXXX.com/Path3

I am using this code:

<!--- Default locations --->

<CFIF server_name IS "www.XXXX.com" OR server_name IS "XXXX.com">

<CFLOCATION url="MainPath/Main.html">

<!---  For XXXX.com/name1 --->

<CFELSEIF CompareNoCase(cgi.server_name, "XXXX.com") EQ 0 AND CompareNoCase(ListGetAt(cgi.path_info, 1, "/"),"name1") EQ 0>

<CFLOCATION url=" http://XXXX.com/Path1">

<!---  For XXXX.com/korrosion point to Io00Korro01.cfm --->

<CFELSEIF CompareNoCase(cgi.server_name, "XXXX.com") EQ 0 AND CompareNoCase(ListGetAt(cgi.path_info, 1, "/")," name2") EQ 0>

<CFLOCATION url=" http://XXXX.com/Path2">

<!---  For XXXX.com/cell point to CellCycle01.cfm ---> 

<CFELSEIF CompareNoCase(cgi.server_name, "XXXX.com") EQ 0 AND CompareNoCase(ListGetAt(cgi.path_info, 1, "/")," name3") EQ 0>

<CFLOCATION url=" http://XXXX.com/Path3">

</CFIF>

Specification 1 and 2 above work well with <!--- Default locations --->

<CFIF server_name IS "www.XXXX.com" OR server_name IS "XXXX.com">

<CFLOCATION url="MainPath/Main.html">

But the rest of the code won't do the desired redirects of specification 3 to 5.

Help would be appreciated.

Comment out the cflocation tags so you can look at your data.  Then do this sort of thing.

<cfif something>

yes

<cfelse>

no

<cfdump var="#the_variables_you_were_looking_at#">

closing tags.

adjusted for your own code of course.

At first glance, it looks like you overengineered the whole thing.

Hello,

Not sure how to get <cfdump> to work. So I did a test.

I have default.cfm under the root directory.
It only contains this line:

<cfdump var="#URL#">

If I enter XXXX.com into the browser URL it will just display a blank page. How can I get the dump to display in the browser?

Thanks, Phnoefniex

Are you sure that default.cfm is automatically servers by your web server.  That file is not a common automatic file.  ColdFusion usually only configures index.cfm to be automatically serverd if no specific file is requested.

Have you tried XXXX.com/default.cfm  do you see the dump display then?  Which, of course, is going to be empty becuase you have no url parameters.  xxxx.com/default.cfm?test=foobar will show some data in the dump.
