lighttpd rewrite rules for SMF Pretty Urls mod

Added by sipiatti almost 16 years ago

Hi,

I several times installed SMF forum system (http://www.simplemachines.org) and its favorite SEO mod Pretty Urls. It works almost out-of-the-box with Apache, and also I managed it on nginx webserver. Now I have a task to apply it on a lighttpd server. I've read the docs how I need to construct the rewrite rules. The site is http://currate.com/forums/index.php

The original apache rules are the following:
  1. PRETTYURLS MOD BEGINS
  2. Pretty URLs mod
  3. http://code.google.com/p/prettyurls/
  4. .htaccess file generated automatically on: July 9, 2009, 13:15

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /~sipiatti/smf

  1. Rules for: boards
    RewriteRule ^([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;board=$1.0 [L,QSA]
    RewriteRule ^([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([0-9]*)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;board=$1.$2 [L,QSA]
  1. Rules for: topics
    RewriteRule ^([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;board=$1;topic=$2.0 [L,QSA]
    RewriteRule ^([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([0-9]*|msg[0-9]*|new)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;board=$1;topic=$2.$3 [L,QSA]
  1. PRETTYURLS MOD ENDS

My constructed rules for lighttpd are:
"^/forums/([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)(\?(.*))?/?$" => "/forums/index.php?pretty;board=$1.0$2",
"^/forums/([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([0-9]*)(\?(.*))?/?$" => "/forums/index.php?pretty;board=$1.$2$3",
"^/forums/([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)(\?(.*))?/?$" => "/forums/index.php?pretty;board=$1;topic=$2.0$3",
"^/forums/([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([0-9]*|msg[0-9]*|new)(\?(.*))?/?$" => "/forums/index.php?pretty;board=$1;topic=$2.$3$4"

I tried to apply the querystring backreferences. It works almost good, but there are links what are do not.
I have problems with urls what have apostroph in them. They just do not work.
Also I have problems if an url what is ok with rewrite has query string. e.g.: http://currate.com/forums/forum-rules/?action=markasread;sa=board;sesc=ae822175b25631c77ff5ddfededebd0c
Can someone with lighttpd rewrite experience look through the aboves?

Thanks in advance.

Here is my solution for SMF Pretty Urls 1-0RCb. Hope will someone be helpful.

Works on my forum, implemented as is on Kloxo admin panel. You can paste code directly to lighttpd.domain.conf file.

Original apache .htaccess file:

# Rules for: profiles
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=profile;user=$1 [L,QSA]

# Rules for: actions
RewriteRule ^(activate|admin|ads|announce|attachapprove|buddy|calendar|clock)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(collapse|coppa|credits|deletemsg|display|dlattach|editpoll|editpoll2)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(emailuser|findmember|groups|help|helpadmin|im|jseditor|jsmodify)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(jsoption|lock|lockvoting|login|login2|logout|markasread|mascot)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(mergetopics|mlist|moderate|modifycat|modifykarma|movetopic|movetopic2|notify)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(notifyboard|openidreturn|pm|post|post2|printpage|profile|quotefast)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(quickmod|quickmod2|recent|register|register2|reminder|removepoll|removetopic2)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(reporttm|requestmembers|restoretopic|search|search2|sendtopic|smstats|suggest)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(spellcheck|splittopics|stats|sticky|theme|trackip|about:mozilla|about:unknown)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(unread|unreadreplies|verificationcode|viewprofile|vote|viewquery|viewsmfile|who)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(\.xml|xmlhttp)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=$1 [L,QSA]

# Rules for: boards
RewriteRule ^([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;board=$1.0 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([0-9]*)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;board=$1.$2 [L,QSA]

# Rules for: topics
RewriteRule ^([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;board=$1;topic=$2.0 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([0-9]*|msg[0-9]*|new)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;board=$1;topic=$2.$3 [L,QSA]

My Lighttpd rewrite code:

url.rewrite-once = (
# Rules for: profiles
"^/profile/([^/]+)/(?:\?(.*))?$" => "/index.php?pretty;action=profile;u=$1;$2",

# Rules for: actions
"^/(activate|admin|ads|announce|attachapprove|buddy|calendar|clock)/(?:\?(.*))?$" => "/index.php?pretty;action=$1;$2",
"^/(collapse|coppa|credits|deletemsg|display|dlattach|editpoll|editpoll2)/(?:\?(.*))?$" => "/index.php?pretty;action=$1;$2",

# Rules for: boards

"^/([-_!~*'()$a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([0-9]*)/(?:\?(.*))?$" => "/index.php?pretty;board=$1.$2;$3,
