"How to Make Cold Fusion Process .html Files
Tested and working in CF5 and CFMX!
Start up IIS
Go into the web site properties
Select the ôHome Directoryö û ôConfigurationö
Look for the .cfm entry
(If you are running CF5 with default settings it is C:\CFUSION\BIN\ISCF.DLL - If you are running CFMX with default settings it is C:\CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun.dll).
ôAddö new entry. Executable should be the value above, extension should be .htm, .html, etc.
ôApplyö or ôOKö and youÆre done.
If youÆre running MX, one extra step is required:
Stop the CFMX app server service
Open the \cf_root|wwwroot\WEB-INF\web.xml in a text editor.
Search for servlet-mapping and then add the following two mappings:
Code:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.html/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Start the CFMX app server service"
