[kohkindachi]

Hey guys, (1) how do i check if mod_rewrite is enabled/installed in my lighttpd server? If not, how do i enable it?

(2) How do I add this htaccess code to lighttpd?

RewriteBase /alt
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/ index.php?file=$2

Thanks alot

There is another way to rewrites.
Try:

url.rewrite-once = ( "^(.*)/(.*)/" => "index.php?file=$2" )

Hello,

Lighttpd won't recognize the file .htaccess. You need to use special rewrite rules for lighttpd and include it in the configuration file.

Yes, it should be in config file, but rule which I gave should work.

## for all URLs in /instadir/ that are not index.php, dmoz.css, admin or img, do ...
url.rewrite-once = ( "^/instadir/(?!index\.php|dmoz\.css|admin|img).*" => "$0",
"^/instadir/([^?]*)(?:\?(.*))?" => "/instadir/index.php?area=browse&cat=$1&$2")
