I use Joomsef for my website, but Joomsef can not support lighhtpd. If we want to use lighttpd, how to config lighttpd in our lighttpd.conf?

Following is our lighttpd.conf. VirtueMart can not rewrite. Can you help me? Thank you!

$HTTP[\"host\"] == \"192.168.21.43\" {
$HTTP[\"url\"] =~ \"^.*(html|php|/).*$\" {
magnet.attract-physical-path-to = (\"/etc/lighttpd/joomla.lua\")
}

server.document-root = \"/var/www/php\"
# server.error-handler-404 = \"/dispatch.fcgi\"
fastcgi.server = ( \".php\" =>
( \"phpapp\" =>
( \"socket\" => \"/var/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket\",
\"bin-path\" => \"/usr/bin/php-cgi\",
\"max-procs\" => 2
)
)
)
url.rewrite-once = (
\"^images*\\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png)\" => \"$0\",
\"^/administrator.*$\" => \"$0\",
\"^/mambots.*$\" => \"$0\",
\"^/shop/(/|\\.htm|\\.php|\\.html|/[^.]*)$\" => \"/index.php\",
\"^/outac-blog/(/|\\.htm|\\.php|\\.html|/[^.]*)$\" => \"/index.php\",
\"^/help-with-faq/(/|\\.htm|\\.php|\\.html|/[^.]*)$\" => \"/index.php\",
\"^/outac-s-news/(/|\\.htm|\\.php|\\.html|/[^.]*)$\" => \"/index.php\",
\"(/|\\.htm|\\.php|\\.html|/[^.]*)$\" => \"/index.php\"
)
}

Hi mrunix,

we don't support different rewriting engine than standard mod_rewrite.
You can try to buy our Support time for this specific task.

Best regards,

Well, Lighttpd by itself cannot support direct rewrites like this. However, you should compile Lighttpd with LUA (mod_magnet). Once you have that, you can simply do the following
in lighttpd.conf


in /etc/lighttpd/joomla.lua


That should take care of all SEF urls. Keep in mind that it simply checks to see if a file exists, and if not, points the request to /index.php<br><br>Post edited by: ircmaxell, at: 2007/10/08 15:56
