09/14/2022, 3:45 PMNot exactly a CF thing.
I have upgraded a CF application (from Apache to IIS 10) with some removed functionality/Pages
Task is to redirect the removed pages to some different URL (which I think can be only handled by IIS)
e.g.
Copy code
<url 1> (deleted) when called should go to <url a>(Not in CF) Copy code
<url 2> (deleted) when called should go to <url b>(In CF)p

Copy code
<https://abc.com/index.cfm?apple=1&ball=2>r

09/14/2022, 4:26 PMYou'll need to install the URL Rewrite extension if you want to do it with IIS. https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

09/14/2022, 4:40 PMCould you update the Application.cfc to use "onMissingTemplate" - https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/application-cfc-reference/onmissingtemplate.html ? plus see the note at the bottom about IIS

09/14/2022, 5:11 PMsomething like:
function onMissingTemplate( required string targetPage ) {
writelog(file="#this.name#",application = false, text = "#arguments.targetPage# does not exist.");
origURL= listlast(cgi.path_translated,"\");
if (origURL == 'url1.cfm') {
location("misstemp1.cfm", "false", "301");
} else if (origURL == 'url2.cfm') {
location("misstemp2.cfm", "false", "301");
} else {
location("missDefault.cfm", "false", "301");
}
}

09/14/2022, 7:01 PM@Jim Frankowski: Thanks
This was already configured as you mentioned
Just need to add the if/else if
Viral
09/14/2022, 7:01 PM@Rodney: This is for sure the long term solution to handle with IIS
Will work on it on the lower environment
Thanks

09/15/2022, 10:37 AMThe correct thing is at the SERVER request, to use a 301 redirect, you could do this with IIS, you oculd with every page go add a file, add 301 header and then point to the correct location or error code, or you could as above write a case, or cfif statement on request for the entire stack, chewing up some memory and making a mess or you could read the manual https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/extensions/url-rewrite-module/creating-rewrite-rules-for-the-url-rewrite-module

09/15/2022, 3:04 PMI would use the IIS rewrites for global changes or whole directories and the cf missing templates for the edge cases
