[TriLUG] Lighttpd rewriting for pmwiki

[Jason Faulkner]

I'm trying to setup pmwiki on my lighttpd server, and I want to setup
the pretty URLs.

Well, I'm having an issue converting the provided apache rewrite rules
to the format lighttpd uses.

This is the information they provide for apache, but even after RTFM
on lighttpd rewriting, I can't seem to figure out the correct syntax
to do this.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

# Use mod_rewrite to enable "Clean URLs" for a PmWiki installation.
RewriteEngine On
# Define the rewrite base.
RewriteBase /~someuser/pmwiki
# Send requests without parameters to pmwiki.php.
RewriteRule ^$           pmwiki.php  [L]
# Send requests for index.php to pmwiki.php.
RewriteRule ^index.php$  pmwiki.php  [L]
# Send requests for files that exist to those files.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# Send requests for directories that exist to those directories.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Send requests to pmwiki.php, appending the query string part.
RewriteRule (.*)         pmwiki.php?n=$1  [QSA,L]
