404 Error with trailing slashes in URL

[natg504]

I have a web application I'm trying to install that has URLs in the format of http://www.example.com/subdir/index.cfm/about-us/ Every time I go to a page with something after the .cfm extension in the URL, and ending in a /, like "/about-us/", I get a 404 error.

I know that our server is set up to read URLs like this without the trailing slash because something like http://www.example.com/subdir/post.cfm/about-us will work, but as soon as I add the / at the end, I get the 404 error. We need to have the ability to read URLs with slashes at the end because we're setting up this new application that uses those very frequently.

Are there any IIS 6 settings or mappings that we might need to set up?

Thanks,

I believe it has to do with a mapping directive in web.xml which is used by ColdFusion to determine what files to process or hand off to IIS.

Thanks. We already have the following code un-commented. Is this what you are referring to?

<!-- begin SES -->
<servlet-mapping id="coldfusion_mapping_6">
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.cfml/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping id="coldfusion_mapping_7">
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.cfm/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping id="coldfusion_mapping_8">
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.cfc/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<!-- end SES -->

Yes that is what I was referring too. The ones you pasted look like they should cover it from a ColdFusion angle.

Can you check your weblogs to see if when you are trying to access "/about-us/" its not being smart and trying to access "/about-us/default.html" which it can not find. Check under the documents tab in IIS Manager for that website to add default.cfm at the top of the list as a work around and see if it will work then.
