Problem with CF9, Apache2 and aliases (mod_alias)

hi

 

we're running coldfusion9 apache 2 , want access .cfm files without specifying extensions. used work cf5 (don't ask... ^^) , apache1.3.x.

 

here's simple example 2 aliases accessing administrator pages of coldfusion:

 

entries in httpd.conf:

    alias /admin        "/usr/local/httpd-2.2.16/htdocs/cfide/administrator/index.cfm"

    alias /admin.cfm    "/usr/local/httpd-2.2.16/htdocs/cfide/administrator/index.cfm"

 

 

when accessing page http://localhost/admin.cfm, works fine.

when accessing page http://localhost/admin though, 403 (forbidden), , that's it.

 

it seems, jrun looks @ extension of original request (that is, before alias mapping takes place) in order find out whether has forward request cf server or not. can't specify nonexisting extension addhandler-clause.

 

is there way make work?

 

using redirects instead of aliases works, redirect involves client inacceptable since double #requests.

 

kind regards!

daniel
