Requirements

Routing is enabled by default in the ColdBox application templates in order to work with URL's like this:

http://localhost/index.cfm/home/about

As you can see they still contain the index.cfm in the URL. In order to enable full URL rewrites that eliminates that index.cfm you must have a rewrite enabled webserver like Apache, nginx or IIS or a Java rewrite filter which ships with CommandBox by default.

http://localhost/home/about

CommandBox has built in rewrites powered by Tuckey and you can enable a server with rewrites by running:

server start --rewritesEnable

Caution Some J2EE servlet containers do not support the forwarding of SES parameters via the routing template (index.cfm) out of the box. You might need to enable full URL rewriting either through a web server or a J2EE filter.
