Problem with Router.cfc

Communities ColdBox HMVC
1

Sorry for the poor question…

I have a fully functional Coldbox installation (v. Coldbox-6.4.0) for some API Rest.
I’m using
Now, I would to activate the url rewriting but I cannot make my Coldbox reads the Router.cfc configuration.

Tuckey UrlRewrite works perfectly, and i add to my urlrewrite.xml the required rules find here:
https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/the-basics/routing/requirements/rewrite-rules

The documentation says that by default the Router.cfc file is searched in the “config/Router.cfc” folder.

This is the shema folders of my application:
/config/Coldbox.cfc
/config/Router.cfc
/api/Application.cfc (which starts Coldbox)

I tried putting Router.cfc in:
/api/config/Router.cfc
without success.

Any idea?

Many many thanks

Assuming you created your app using ColdBox REST HMVC template (coldbox-templates · GitHub), the Router.cfc should be in wwwroot/modules_app/api/modules_app/v1/config/Router.cfc

I hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply @Ancient_Programmer :smile:

Actually not.
I made a custom installation.
My coldbox is in /external/coldbox

I have done this mapping:
this.mappings["/coldbox"] = ExpandPath("/external/coldbox/");

I have configured the controller directory as such in /config/Coldbox.cfc
handlersExternalLocation: "com.smartvillage.api.controller"

My controllers extend the AbsController which itself extends:
coldbox.system.RestHandler

I have put Router.cfc in the directory: /config/Router.cfc

Application.cfc is in /api/Application.cfc (this starts Coldbox)

Everything works perfectly!

But I cannot make Coldbox read Router.cfc.

I cannot find a way to point this file in the configuration.

Any idea?

You put Router.cfc in /config. That should work. Have you reinitialized the framework?

http://yourdev/?fwreinit=1

yes, i put:

url.fwreinit = 1;

on my OnRequestStart() :sweat_smile:

What’s your Web server? I’m curious.

You mentioned that your ColdBox 6.4 could not read Router.cfc. Honestly, I’ve never had that issue before. Perhaps, it’s worth to look at server.json. Below is what I usually have on my local set up using CommandBox.

{
"name":"myapi",
"app":{
    "cfengine":"lucee@5"
},
"web":{
    "host":"localhost",
    "directoryBrowsing":false,
    "rewrites":{
        "enable":"true"
    },
    "aliases":{
        "/media":"/Users/local/sites/api/media"
    }
}

}

Ok, i solve the problem :sweat_smile:
I was wrong in configuring my urlrewriting.xml :laughing:
