But .cfm is a Cold Fusion template file. Why would you have php code in it?

You'll be much better off in the long run if you change the extension to
something standard like .php. Or just get yourself a virtual private
server where you can do anything you want.


My guess is that the OP needs to preserve the URLs in existing links.
This is probably better handled through Apache rewrite than changing
the file extension of the source files.


A 301 redirect takes care of things quite nicely - and permanently.

One would use rewrite to do that, naturally.


You can use a rewrite. But a redirect will allow the search engines to pick up the change without affecting current page rank. So eventually you can get rid of your redirects.

If you just do a rewrite no one will know it's actually changed.
