lighttpd rewrites

[BootsSiR]

Has anyone out there gotten VB5 to work with lighttpd? I've been toying with the rules but I'm not sure if my rules are the problem or my upgrade didn't go well.

We do not have specific rewrite rules available for lighttpd. You're the first person to talk about it. I'd suggest asking over at the lighttpd community for help coverting our htaccess rules into something useable.

Got it working

[Zachery]

Can you share the working re-writes?

[BootsSiR]

Sure. They are at the link I posted above but here they are:

url.rewrite-if-not-file = (
    "^/([^\?]+)(\?(.*))?$" => "index.php?routestring=$1&$3",
)
url.rewrite-once = (
    "^/(admincp/[^\?]+)(\?(.*))?$" => "index.php?routestring=$1&$3",
)

Hello,

First of all, excuse my bad English. We bought recently vb5. But I need some help. At first glance the above solution works in lighttpd, but unfortunately in our case I can't even go to admincp from the footer nav-list. I see this message:

That action could not be completed. Please try again, and if this occurs again please contact the system administrator and tell them how you got this message.

And link to admincp is look like this:

http://example.com/admincp

But accidentally I found that if a put just one slash after the above url, everything work ok:

http://example.com/admincp/

If this is helpful, web server working as cgi-fcgi. Please advise. Any help would be appreciated
