Apache to LightTPD Simple Rewrite?

LightTPD does have a rewrite module. By default it is not enabled if you build from source or even install it using an rpm.

To enable it you'll need to edit your config file.

...
server.modules              = (
#                               "mod_rewrite",
#                               "mod_redirect",
...

 

and uncomment the mod_rewrite:

 

...
server.modules              = (
                               "mod_rewrite",
#                               "mod_redirect",
...

 

Then restart your lighttpd server. Usually:

/etc/init.d/lighttpd reload

 

but if you don't have an init script:

lighttpd -f /path/to/config/file.conf

 

After that, you'll need to add in a rewrite to one of your configuration files. If you are hosting only one site you can do it right in the lighttpd.conf file as:

url.rewrite = (
  "^/([^.?]*)$" =>  "/index.php?p=$1"
)

 

If you need to do it for multiple sites you can find out more in the documentation.
