I am getting a 500 Internal error when trying to load any .cfm page that isn't Index.cfm on my new coldfusion site. This is with Asp.net/IIS 8.5. I went through and created the new site based on previously built sites (I am new and still learning CF and web development) and I have got the Index.cfm to go live, but when I add any files like test.cfm I cannot display them as a new page.
I can however load .html files like test.html and I can call to .cfm pages with cfinclude (I have a header, footer, and form in the index all called upon with cfinclude)
I don't know if I have missed something entirely while setting up this site, or if there is a simple setting I've missed, but any and all help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
500 Internal server error

For example:
I create a page on Joomla or Wordpress and then save it.
I create an entry in the menu that points to the new page.
When I select the new entry in the menu the page opens on the browser.
The URL that appears points to a file that doesn't exist on the server.
What is the mechanism that is used by a CMS like Joomla or wordpress to accomplish this?
This is typically done with a URL rewriting module that runs on the web server (mod_rewrite for Apache or URL Rewrite for IIS on Windows). It will rewrite a request URL like /blog/article-title to something like /index.php/blog/article-title or /index.php?q=blog/article-title before the website code even sees the request. Then, the code in index.php extracts the rest of the path and determines which content to serve based on that.
For Wordpress, see http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks for some info about how the rewrites are set up.
A site I'm working on has been hacked. The CMS (which I didn't build) was accessed and some files (e.g. "km2jk4.php.jpg") were uploaded in image fields. I have since deleted them (a week ago). Now, when I search for the site on Google, then click the result, it either:
a) simply redirects me to the Google search page
OR
b) a download dialogue appears asking me to download a zip file, with the source domain something like gb.celebritytravelnetwork.com
Clearly the site's been compromised. But if I simply type the URL in the address bar, the site loads fine. This only happens when I click through Google results.
There is no .htaccess file on the server, and this is not a virus on my computer, since many other people have reported the same thing happening, so this question is not relevant.
Any ideas please?
Thanks.
Your Source files have been changed.
Check all the files included in the index page. They might be header , footer pages.
And try using : fetch as google bot.
Has anyone played with the new redirect feature in Ektron 8.6?
We tested it (in 8.6.0) before upgrading and were happy with it. But when it came time to do the upgrade, Ektron had released 8.6.1, so we upgraded directly to that.
Now we are having trouble with the redirect feature. (Yes, we should have tested everything again in 8.6.1 before upgrading)
Now if we try to add a redirect rule for an existing page in the CMS, it does not work.
But if we create a redirect rule for a page the does not exist, then try to hit that address, the redirect works fine.
We need the redirects to work for existing pages in the CMS.
To clarify what "working" and "not working" means...
If I have an existing page in the CMS with manual alias of "/erc/lucien.apsx", I can create an entry in the redirect table like this...
Adding this entry generates no errors, but when I visit the page, all I see is the regular old page I created. NOT the Google site it should be redirecting to. I do not get any 404 errors.
But if I create a redirect entry for a page that does not already exist, like this...
It works perfectly. If I try to visit the /erc/fake.apsx address, I end up on the Google site, as expected.
(FYI, we create a "fake" page in the CMS for external content so we can attach metadata to it and make it searchable in taxonomies, but then provide a link to the "real" page. I want to use redirects here so users don't have to do this extra click)
I suspect it might be cache related -- the original URL gets cached as an alias, then subsequent requests to that URL are redirected to the quicklink without the need for a db look up. When you add the redirect, it’s probably not clearing the old item from the cache. I'd try an IIS reset after you add the URL redirect and see if that clears up the issue.
An "outside the box" (of Ektron) answer to this is to place the redirect at the web server rather than in the Aliases section of the Ektron CMS.
The server I work on uses IIS and I have this set up for several pages.
So I created a nice 6 page website hutchspropertyandtree.co.nr using freedomain.co.nr via dropbox public folder. Everything was working and updating properly until i updated with iwebs SEO TOOL. I added meta and title tags as well as description etc... PROBLEM is that even though my .html files in dropbox are correct and show all new code and tags. when i open up my domain hutchspropertyandtree.co.nr it doesnt show any of my recent seo tool updates.
im thinking that the cheap domainname from .co.nr is the problem? Is it possible that the default tags and titles and keywords entered into the co.nr website creation boxs are overwriting the newer ones in the html within my dropbox?
But still doesnt explain why a stat counter code and google analytics code in the footer and header respectively still do not show up when i view source in browser.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP.
It's because the page at hutchspropertyandtree.co.nr uses a frame to show the content from another location. The meta information comes from the page with the frame, not the page in the frame. You should be able to see the content of the frame using an inspector (comes with all browsers these days) or "View frame source", if your browser does that.
Note that any search engine hits to your pages will link to the dropbox URL, not the frame page (that has essentially no content from the viewpoint of a search engine). If you want search engine results to show up under that domain, you'll have to get hosting that lets you point a domain directly to it.
I have a form that submit a shopping cart to Google Checkout. The form works great on it's own, but when I put it inside of Joomla (using a content-type of wrapper), Google Checkout throws a 302, and the form page is loaded again.
As I was writing this, I then decided to see what happens from the static form, outside of Joomla. It took gets a 302, but Google Checkout loads.
If I go directly to the request url listed in the resource inspector (using chrome for this), I get an error:
Oops!
We were unable to process your request.
That happens on both the Joomla wrapped form and the stand alone.
However, both forms receive response headers, with a Location url that goes to Google Checkout, and in fact loads the proper data.
Any ideas how to get this working inside of Joomla? Or what I might be doing wrong?
I don't know this stuff well enough to explain myself too well, so if you have a clarifying question, I'd be more than happy to provide as much info as possible.
The issue was in fact that the form was trying to redirect the entire page from inside an i-frame. Brought the form out into a component and it works fine.
