Upgrade to CF2023 has disabled all URL's

Question

Since an update was made on where my site is being hosted, i can't get the URL's to work. Unfortunately my site was written over 20 years ago (not by me) , i do have experience with HTML and CSS, but cold fusion....well no. From what I have seen is that it has something to do with Scoped Variables. The URL's are showing in the browser, but it remains on the homepage. I'm using a page to control most of my nav.

So for example

<a href="./inc_executive.cfm?show=executive">Executive & Coaches</a>

simply resets to the homepage.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

My guess is that you'll find it works if you change the code (perhaps in your application.cfm or cfc, that receives the request and forwards it based on that show variable in the url) so that instead of just using show, you use url.show.

There was an update to both cf2021 and 2023 last March that introduced an important change in behavior. There are also alternative workarounds you can enable at the application level or server (jvm config) level, to affect more than this one set of code. For more, see the technote for that March update, or my blog post from that day:

Let us know if that quick fix I offered works, or not.
