WPMU .htaccess for Lighttpd (6 posts)

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to run WPMU on a Lighttpd server (using sub-directories, not sub-domains). The site will not work without the correct rewrite rules (a poor design decision in my opinion). I know the rewrite rules need to be embedded in lighttpd.conf, but I don't think all of the apache2 rules have lighttpd equivalents. How have people gotten this to work?

    Now that I've been totally stonewalled by this problem, I'm throwing in the towel and resorting to offering a $25 reward on Google Answers - any takers? http://google.com/answers/threadview?id=765146

    http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/TWikiOnLighttpd might be useful - or you might want to contact the author of that code

    I have no idea whether the problem he was solving is of a similar complexity to yours, but its worth a go.

    Try this:

    $HTTP["host"] =~ "^www\.(.*)$" {
    url.redirect = ("^/(.*)" => "http://%1/$1")
    url.rewrite-once = ("^/(.*)?/?files/(.*)" => "wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2", "^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(w
    p-.*)" => "$2", "^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$" => "$2", "." => "index.php")
    }

    It works..

    Correct to below:

    $HTTP["host"] =~ "^www\.(.*)$" {
    url.redirect = ("^/(.*)" => "http://%1/$1")
    url.rewrite-once = ("^/(.*)?/?files/(.*)" => "wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2", "^/(wp-.*)$" => "$1", "^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*)" => "$2", "^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$" => "$2", "." => "index.php")
    }

    Try it by yourself.

    Got it to work without url.rewrite by using mod_magnet and this LUA script: wpmu.lua. More info on my blog.
    Please test and report success. I've been testing it just a cople of days and am new to WordPress, so I may be wrong.
