Still happening…If you go to http://www.themodmedia.com/, the URL will add /index.cfm to the end of it.

Other pages like http://www.themodmedia.com/about-mod-media work just fine. It's just on the home page.

Any suggestions?

Either when I click the home page from the live site or even when I just type in http://www.domain.com/ it adds the index.cfm to the end.

@Ronnie

When you say that it still adds index.cfm to the home page… where are you clicking that link from? If you are clicking on the site name from the admin, that could be a bug in an older version of Mura that no longer exists (I think i submitted the fix about 2 months ago). Try updating your core and testing again.

I used this, and it works great for the interior pages (www.domain.com/about-us), yet the home page still adds "index.cfm" (www.domain.com/index.cfm).

Any thoughts?

I've been plugging away and come up with the following:

RewriteEngine         ON
RewriteCond         %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI}     !-d
RewriteRule         ^([\x20a-zA-Z0-9/-]+)$         /index.cfm%{REQUEST_URI}

The rules work everywhere I've tried except for searches:

http://www.domain.com/test-page/tag/Page/?Keywords=test&display=search&newSearch=true&noCache=1

When I manually add in index.cfm into the URL, the search page displays properly:

http://……../index.cfm/test-page/tag/Page/?Keywords=test&display=search&newSearch=true&noCache=1

It seems clear that the rule is not capturing this condition. Any thoughts?

Apparently this file is not included in the installer but exists in the standard download file set.
It appears to be a set of rules for IIS7.

Does anyone have the exact rule set for Ionic Rewriter on IIS 6.5?

I just downloaded and installed the latest version of Mura using the installer. There is no web.config or web.config.txt included. Does someone know where I could get a copy of that file?

For any future readers, in the latest version of mura it now automatically creates a web.config file with rewrite rules that will do the rewrite for you in IIS. All you need to do is go to the web root folder and and change web.config.txt to web.config.

@Ryan – Seriously appreciate this post! Up and running faster than I could copy and paste!

@Greg Moser – Thanks for leading me here via the Mura forums!

It appears you're also missing _ characters in the regex.
