trouble to access to database after rewriting url with cfwheels

[Alex1356250]

I'm looking for advices about the rewriting URLs fonction of cfWheels. I'm running an app on Adobe ColdFusion 2025, cfWheels 2.5.1 and CommandBox
I'm looking for rewriting URLs of the website (suppress the"/index.cfm/" prefix) and it works! great! BUT I don't have access to my CFIDE Admin Page, my Database and the cfWheels Routes Page.
I have to share with you my .htaccess code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(CFIDE|cfide|CF_scripts|cf_scripts|wheels/routes) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index.cfm/(.)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^index.cfm/(.)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.cfm/$1 [QSA,L]

There is my settings.cfm:

set(coreTestDataSourceName="manytomany"); set(dataSourceName="manytomany"); set(URLRewriting="On");

There is my server.json:
{
"app":{"cfengine":"adobe@2025" },
"name":"cf2025_project",
"web":{ "rewrites":{ "config":".htaccess", "enable":true },
"servletPassPredicate":"true" }
}
If someone have a idea of what's wrong with that? Thanks for your help!

Is your commandbox server.json in development or production mode?

Production mode has the web based administrator disabled by default.

Hope this helps.

@Alex1356250 As @chapmandu mentioned, it’s worth clarifying that in production mode, the CFAdmin pages are disabled by default.

In addition to that, Wheels’ internal/debug pages are also disabled in production, so they’re not accessible unless explicitly enabled.

This helps ensure that sensitive admin and framework internals are not exposed in a live environment. You might have the environment set as production in either the .env file or the environment.cfc file.

Hope this helps!

Hi there, I realized I forgot to respond! My apologies for that. I found a solution by using a custom rule in an XML file. By the way, I noticed that in Wheels 3, the rewriting issue has been resolved. Thanks!
