== PMWiki CleanURLs with Lighttpd ==
Rewriting for PMWiki isn't very difficult at all.
=== Dedicated vhost ===
A vhost of wiki.example.com is used in this example. Add this snippet to your lighttpd.conf, after enabling mod_rewrite.
{{{
$HTTP["host"] == "wiki.example.com" {
index-file.names = ("pmwiki.php")
url.rewrite-once = (
"^/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z=?0-9.&:\-_%]+)$" => "/pmwiki.php?n=$1.$2",
"^/([a-zA-Z0-9/]+)$" => "/pmwiki.php?n=Category.$1"
)
}
}}}
I have this code setup to redirect any one-level inquiries (http://wiki.example.com/group) to Category.$1. You can change that easily, and make it $1.$1 or Main.$1, whatever you want. (''blaster8'': I have found that to make all of the links with the 'lean' skin sane, the option $1.!HomePage is the best replacement for Category.$1)
Now, change your config variables in config.php to the following:
{{{
$EnablePathInfo = 1;
$ScriptUrl = "http://wiki.example.com";
$PubDirUrl = "http://wiki.example.com/pub";
}}}
=== Subdirectory ===
To set up a wiki in `http://example.com/wiki/` instead of `http://wiki.example.com/`, perform the following steps:
Put the following in PMWiki's `config.php`:
{{{
$EnablePathInfo = 1;
$ScriptUrl = "http://example.com/wiki";
$PubDirUrl = "http://example.com/wiki/pub";
}}}
Put this in Lighttpd's `lighttpd.conf`:
{{{
url.rewrite-once = (
"^/wiki/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z=?0-9.&:\-_%]+)$" => "/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=$1.$2",
"^/wiki/([a-zA-Z0-9/]+)$" => "/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Category.$1"
)
}}}
Create a file called `index.php` with the following contents in the same directory as `pmwiki.php`:
{{{
<?php require("pmwiki.php"); ?>
}}}
=== `url.rewrite` rules ===
The regular expressions used above can also be rewritten to a single rule:
{{{
url.rewrite-once = ("^/([A-Z].*)" => "/pmwiki.php?n=$1") "/pmwiki.php/$1")
}}}
This lets the `pmwiki.php` script handle any URL that starts with a capital letter. If your wiki conforms to the ''de facto'' pmwiki standards, this should be enough.
