Assuming your forum resides at the root of your site (i.e. http://example.org/):
- Add this to the appropriate section of your lighttpd.conf file:
server.error-handler-404 = "/rewrite.php"

I'll update the Flux wiki entry for that bit. The [dir] bit is obviously unneeded if it's at web root. It must have been an overzealous copy/paste on that bit.

Hi everone!

Thank you very much! It seems my misfortune was only due to a small mistake. I hadn't included the subfolder in the error-handler:
        $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/forum/" {
                server.error-handler-404 = "/rewrite.php"
        }

This isn't 100% correct yet; it should be

server.error-handler-404 = "/forum/rewrite.php"

if your forum is located at /forum.

As a conclusion for all of you looking for instructions to have clean urls in punbb 1.3 with lighttpd:

Assuming your forum installation is in a folder named "punbb" (i.e. http://www.yourdomain.com/punbb/):

- Add this to the appropriate section of your lighttpd.conf file:

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/punbb/" {
    server.error-handler-404 = "/punbb/rewrite.php"
}

Assuming your forum resides at the root of your site (i.e. http://www.yourdomain.com/):

- Add this to the appropriate section of your lighttpd.conf file:

server.error-handler-404 = "/rewrite.php"

- Restart lighttpd

- Go to the admin panel of your punBB installation, go to Settings and choose which ever URL scheme you like

That's it! The rewrite.php script takes care of the rest.

Search the Fluxbb wiki. There is information on there regarding Lighttpd and rewrite.

Btw Mods, why is this topic still in the 1.2 section?

I have been trying to get rewrite to work with lighttpd and PunBB 1.3, but haven't been successful. Can one of you that has got it working please share of your wisdom?

For WordPress I'm using mod_magnet and a lua script, but that didn't seem to work with PunBB.

Not on the dev team, but if you're looking to test it out, the setup should be similar to Wordpress and lighttpd

[1.3] URL rewrite rule: lighttpd?

dummy@example.com (Jérémie) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 12:44:11 +0000

I wander if anyone (on the dev team or not) did some test with the 1.3 pre-alpha and Lighttpd? Especially, tried to make to new rewrite engine (done in PHP) work with Lighttpd?
