[SOLVED] Prevent mod_jk to shows/append index.cfm?&

Prevent mod_jk to shows/append index.cfm?&_modcfmlredirected on page load

I have set a virtual host configured in apache2 to proxy my cf sites to lucee/tomcat, and using mode_jk for the proxy.

Everything works fine except that on first time opening my website after a server restart the apache or lucee or the mod_jk kinda redirects to index.cfm and appending &_modcfmlredirected to the url.

So when I open url cf.test I get cf.test/index.cfm&_modcfmlredirected

I don't want this to happen, can anyone explain why this is happening AND how to prevent this.

BTW: After 1st hit the webpage loads fine without the above effect.

There is just a single index.cfm page containing Just one line of code which echoes date only.

virtual host config:

<VirtualHost cf.test:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@cf.test
    ServerName cf.test
    ServerAlias www.cf.test
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/cf.test/public_html
    DirectoryIndex index.cfm
    JkMount /*.cfm ajp13_worker

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

Solution

You can resolve this by updating your 'mod_cfml-valve_v1.1.09.jar' to 'mod_cfml-valve_v1.1.10.jar'.
