Error during install

HTTP Status 404 - /cbox/index.cfm/cbInstaller

Stock Tomcat doesn’t support the same double-wildcard mapping servlet filters that you’ve grown to know and love with Adobe ColdFusion.

ColdFusion 11 sample:

CfmServlet __*.cfm/*__

Instead Railo is constrained to the J2EE spec that only allows one wildcard.

Railo/Tomcat sample:

GlobalCFMLServlet __*.cfm__ GlobalCFMLServlet __/index.cfm/*__

What you’ll need to do is add additional servlet filter lines to your web.xml that have the subdirectory in them.

GlobalCFMLServlet __/cbox/index.cfm/*__

This hold true for any applications you wish to use SES urls in a subdirectory AS WELL AS any Railo application that uses SES URLs with a file other than “index.cfm”

Thanks!

Hi I have done a complete re-install and still get this error. The tables seem to get set up in the db, the install chugs along then generates this error.

Any thoughts would be welcome.

Thanks

Adam

Hi Brad, all,

I have a clean Lucee Express which has the same issue.

My web.xml file has following …

CFMLServlet *.cfc *.cfm *.cfml /index.cfc/* /index.cfm/* /index.cfml/*

This is what I have. What else can I check?

Thanks in advance.

If you’re trying to use SES urls from within a subfolder, you’ll need to add URL patterns for the sub folder since Adobe hacked Tomcat to make double wildcard mappings work.

Minimally, you’ll need to add:

mySubFolder/index.cfm/*

Note, this only applies if you’re installing ContentBox (or any SES ColdBox app for that matter) into a subfolder. Sites in the web root will work fine.

Thanks!
