Lucee Not Serving index.cfm By Default

I have a dev machine running Lucee with Tomcat on Mac OS X El Capitan. Lucee is running fine, but when I bring up my dev site, mapped to admin.local, I have to type in "admin.local:8080/index.cfm". For some reason entering the URL as "admin.local:8080" just brings up a 404. Is there something I need to do to get Lucee/Tomcat to serve index.cfm by default?

UPDATE: The web.xml for Tomcat does include the following:

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>CFMLServlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>*.cfc</url-pattern>
  <url-pattern>*.cfm</url-pattern>
  <url-pattern>*.cfml</url-pattern>
  <url-pattern>/index.cfc/*</url-pattern>
  <url-pattern>/index.cfm/*</url-pattern>
  <url-pattern>/index.cfml/*</url-pattern>

  <!-- url-pattern>*.cfm/*</url-pattern !-->
  <!-- url-pattern>*.cfml/*</url-pattern !-->
  <!-- url-pattern>*.cfc/*</url-pattern !-->
  <!-- url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern !-->
  <!-- url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern !-->
</servlet-mapping>
Solution

  • In order for your web server to handle the index.cfm files without specifying it in the URL you will need to add that as a default document for your web server. You mentioned you are using Apache, one approach for that web server is to add index.cfm to the DirectoryIndex within the httpd.conf file.
