mod_rewrite on coldfusion 2016 developer edition

I'm reworking an old coldfusion website.

Running the developer edition on my Win7 desktop, using the tomcat server (by default)

Trying to do some things with mod_rewrite, but can't seem to locate the .htaccess file anywhere...

Where would it be?

Better still.....

Should I reinstall the developer version to use IIS as the webserver to better work with mod_rewrite?

It looks the live the site I'm reworking is actually hosted on IIS, so it might be a better idea to go the reinstall/IIS route?

If the site is hosted in IIS then use the URL Rewrite module in IIS. (Requires adding if not already installed). Mod_rewrite is an apache thing. If you develop using .htaccess then it wont work live on IIS.

A .htaccess file needs to be created in the root of the web folder if it doesnt exist. It usually isnt their by default. A quick google of how to create a .htaccess file will give you what you need.

Got it. I wasn't able to find where any of the coldfusion server files were located, adding to my confusion I suppose.

I'll switch over to my Win10 PC and do an IIS install and do the coldfusion developer install over there and continue.

THANKS
