Lighttpd

1 - Install JoomlaBR
2 - Go Joomla admin -> Global Configuration -> Site. Enable '''Search Engine Friendly URLs''' and '''Use Apache mod_rewrite'''BR
3 - In lhttpd add this site description, where change ''' {{{
$HTTP["host"]
}}}
and {{{
server.document-root
}}}
to you's settingsBR
BR
Example

{{{
$HTTP["host"] =~ "(^{|\.)site\.com$" {
server.document-root = "/usr/local/www/data/site.com"
url.rewrite-once = (
"^images*\\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png)" => "$0",
"}/administrator.*$" => "$0",
"^/mambots.*$" => "$0",
"(/|\\.htm|\\.php|\\.html|/[^.]*)$" => "/index.php"
)
}
}}}

Instead of this you can do the rewrites it using lua. Create a new file and add:

{{{
-- little helper function
function file_exists(path)
local attr = lighty.stat(path)
if (attr) then
return true
else
return false
end
end
function removePrefix(str, prefix)
return str:sub(1,#prefix+1) == prefix.."/" and str:sub(#prefix+2)
end

-- prefix without the trailing slash
local prefix = ''

-- the magic ;)
if (not file_exists(lighty.env["physical.path"])) then
-- file still missing. pass it to the fastcgi backend
request_uri = removePrefix(lighty.env["uri.path"], prefix)
if request_uri then
lighty.env["uri.path"] = prefix .. "/index.php"
local uriquery = lighty.env["uri.query"] or ""
lighty.env["uri.query"] = uriquery .. (uriquery ~= "" and "&" or "") .. "q=" .. request_uri
lighty.env["physical.rel-path"] = lighty.env["uri.path"]
lighty.env["request.orig-uri"] = lighty.env["request.uri"]
lighty.env["physical.path"] = lighty.env["physical.doc-root"] .. lighty.env["physical.rel-path"]
end
end
-- fallthrough will put it back into the lighty request loop
-- that means we get the 304 handling for free. ;)
}}}

Then on your lighttpd.conf add something like this:

{{{
$HTTP["url"] !~ "^/(xcache-admin|awstatsclasses|awstatsicons|awstatscss|awstats|cacti|webmail|phpmyadmin)(/|$)" {
index-file.names = ( "index.php" )
magnet.attract-physical-path-to = ( "/usr/local/etc/lighttpd/lua/domain.com/www.lua" )
}
}}}
