Solved: rewrite problem
Added by blupp over 15 years ago
It is certainly a problem of misunderstanding, but someone should give me a hint :-).
I use lighttpd lighttpd 1.4.19 under Debian Lenny and I can´t get to work a rewrite rule for changing the string
'/tag/?t=xyz' to '/tag/xyz'
I tried the following rewriterule
url.rewrite-once = ( "^/tag/\?t=(.*)$" => "/tag/$1/", )
but it doesn´t work.
The rewriterule is in the serverconfigfile in /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled, but somehow nothing happens.
Any hint?
Thank you a lot!

My problem still exists. I also tried to RTFM, but this tipp is also not working for me.
Passing / Matching the Query string (GET variables)¶
If you wanna pass the Query String (?foo=bar) to the rewrite destination you have to explicitly match it:
url.rewrite-once = (
"^/news/([^\?]+)(\?(.*))?" => "/news.php?title=$1&$3"
)
If I understand it correct, so I have to write
"^/tag/([^\?]+)(\?(.*))?" => "/tag/$3"
but nothing happens, the string is ignored and no rewrite is done.
What to do? Should I use a newer, maybe selfcompiled version?
Any hint is welcome!

debug.log-request-handling isn`t working in this version (1.4.19 Debian Lenny).
Anything else?

btw. rewrite is working!
the full line in /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/site is looking like this
url.rewrite-once = ( "^/tag/([^\?])(\?(.*))?" => "/tag/$3", "^(.*)(textpattern|event)(.*)" => "$0", "^(.*)about(.*)" => "$1impressum$2", "^(.*)article(.*)" => "$1artikel$2", )
only the "tag" rewrite line is ignored ...

It was my fault!
I forget to escape the "." in my host condition.
$HTTP["host"] =~ "^www\.url\.com$" {
Thanks these guys at the #lighttpd irc-channel!
