Installed IIRF (Ionics rewriter) using your included isapi.ini file and everything works great! Just a note to other MG:U users, event handlers must be consistent as stated in the readme file; “page.index” works but the next event handler can not be “about”, it MUST be “page.about” referenced in the URL as http://localhost/page/about.

Thanks Adam for a great tool!

Adam,

I am running on IIs. Dumping the URL scope gives me:

EVENT index.cfm.

@Robb
What server are you running it on? If you’re trying to routes in the
http://localhost/index.cfm/home/main
form, then you’ll need to remove all other routing with .htaccess/isapi filters, as that’s using base ColdFusion for the routing.

If you’re using those and have index.cfm in the BaseURL i think it will fail though, because apache/iis will convert htp://localhost/index.cfm into http://localhost/?event=index.cfm if I’m not mistaken, which will mess things up before it gets to coldcourse.

Shouldn’t worry about the onrequest start or anything within MG though. By the time it gets to MG all ColdCourse processing is done and the event should be set as a URL variable. I’d try making a onrequeststart function and dumping the URL scope to see what coldcourse is setting, then tweaking the CC settings to make it what you need.

I have a few things planned for CC including some more examples and documentation, but think that’ll be at least two weeks away at this point. I’ll make sure to add a MG example to the list though.

I am getting a Model-Glue: There is no known event handler for “index.cfm.” error in an existing mg:u application.

http://localhost/index.cfm is the “home” URL

setUniqueURLs = false
setBaseURL(“http://localhost/index.cfm”)

in my onrequeststart function in my controller I am setting myself value = “”

I don’t understand how/why index.cfm is an “event handler” as the “home” event handler is home which then does page.index. I have tried to change the value and add an event handler called index.cfm but I can’t seem to get Coldcourse to work. Do you have any suggestions as there is not a lot of MG:U examples with Coldcourse.

Thanks

Just spent a couple of days trying to get the rewrite rules to work, tried to be clever and put them directly in the VirtualHost directive which doesn’t work. Eventually tried AllowOveride All and just used the a .htaccess file and all works straight away!

I’m not sure why .htaccess works but the same rules in the httpd.conf won’t but i thought it was worth a mention incase anyone else ran into this problem.
