Converting .htaccess to lighttpd.conf

snike · 07-29-2010, 09:29 PM

I need some help converting this .htaccess file to lighttpd.conf. Can anyone help me out?

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^film/(.*).html$ /index.php?typ=films&ef=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^video/(.*).html$ /index.php?typ=videos&ef=$1 [QSA]

Thanks in advance!

looking at the documentation located at Lighttpd - Docs:ModRewrite - lighty labs the following should be what you need:
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/669586-converting-htaccess-to-lighttpd-conf.html

Code:

url.rewrite-once = ( "^film/(.*).html$" => "/index.php?typ=films&ef=$1" )
url.rewrite-once = ( "^video/(.*).html$" => "/index.php?typ=videos&ef=$1" )

It simply uses regular expressions as mod rewrite does.

I tried the above code and although it makes complete sense, it isn't working for me. I have lighttpd installed, and I have checked that the module mod_rewrite is enable. It is. However, I am still not able to get this code working correctly. I remember having it work at one point but I don't remember what I did. Any suggestions on how to diagnose what the issue is? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

HI in your original you have QSA to append a query string.

In the documentation linked above at the end you find this:

Quote:

Passing / Matching the Query string (GET variables)¶
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=669586

If you wanna pass the Query String (?foo=bar) to the rewrite destination you have to explicitly match it:

url.rewrite-once = (
"^/news/([^\?]+)(\?(.*))?" => "/news.php?title=$1&$3"
)

would recommend that you take a look at this thread which provides a basic guide to convert mod rewrite rule apache to lighttpd is

RewriteRule ^dmca-policy.html$ dmca-policy.html [L]
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ sitemap.xml [L]
