CFLOCATION: Bad Redirect

[ingernet]

Okay, I'm officially frustrated.

I have a CF page: mypage.cfm

All it has in it is this tag:

<cflocation url=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yahoo.com/&quot;>[/URL]

No bells or whistles, just a redirect. I get "Bad Redirect."

Is there some server setting or install configuration that was missed that would cause this? I'm at my wits' end.

Thanks,
Inger

I tried this exact code on two different CF Servers and it worked fine.

Hey ingernet

If you want to post the error message in its entirety here we might be able to pin point the problem, but that tag looks perfect to me.

This is definitely a server-related issue. I've contacted my local sysadmin and hope to find a resolution. I have a feeling it has something to do with the Apache config. Did you folks have any special Redirect directives in your .conf files?

Try using a <CFINCLUDE> Instaed of CF Location, I had the same issue and CFINCLUDE did the redirection with no error.

I don't know why one tag would work over another, and I didn't get an answer from my host on why one worked and the other didn't either... Which brings up the question, who is your host? I wonder if we are on the same server.

Good Luck,

SteelDragon

Heh! This is an intranet that I'm working on. I'm guessing our sysadmins went to the same school of administration, though. {:
I hadn't thought of the CFInclude thing. Duh. Thanks!

(But I will continue to bug my sysadmin, just for grins.)

I am now having the same problem. a <cflocation> will not redirect but an include will do the job. did anyone ever figure out what the problem here was?

I dont know what the problem actually is but I have found fixes at allair's site. if you go to this link and search for CF_Location you will find several custom tags that will fix the problem.
