apache cf8 execute non .cfm file extensions

[Guest]

Using apache 1.3.33 and cold fusion 8, I've been trying to get rewrite rules to work. Specifically, rewrite rules to execute cold fusion files.

Example:

ReWriteRule ^/ontario.cfm "d:/inetpub/wwwroot/bb_on.cfm"

will work

(ie: when someone types www.mysite.com/ontario.cfm it will execute bb_on.cfm properly

but

ReWriteRule ^/ontario "d:/inetpub/wwwroot/bb_on.cfm"

it will NOT work since www.mysite.com/ontario is not a CFM file and thus does not execute.

How can these rewrite rules be executed if they don't end in .cfm?

Enable verbose logging in apache (RewriteLogLevel 9) and check the logs.
