vBulletin 5 + lighthttpd url rewriting
- by Boots
I'm trying to get vBulletin 5 up and running under lighttpd but I'm having some problems with url rewriting. Here is the apache .htaccess provided by vBulletin.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]
#needed because admincp is an actual directory.
RewriteRule ^(admincp/)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
If this helps, this is the IIS config provided by vBulletin
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- This file is to support redirection in IIS. It is harmless if you are running under Apache -->
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Main Redirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:1}" />
</rule>
<rule name="Admincp" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(admincp/)$" ignoreCase="false" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:1}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Anyone have any suggestions as to the lighttpd url.rewrite equivalent? All my experiments have failed thus far.
I'm running lighttpd-1.4.31-1
I tried this but it didn't work. I think it has something to do with me not properly emulating [QS] in the .htaccess
url.rewrite-once = ("^(.*)$" => "index.php?routestring=$1",
"^(admincp/)$)" => "index.php?routestring=$1")
This has gotten me closer but not fully functional yet.
url.rewrite-if-not-file = ("^(.*)$" => "index.php?routestring=$1",
"^(admincp/)$)" => "index.php?routestring=$1")
