[thirumalai]

Hi,

please reply this,

How to convert this .htaccess file to lighttpd rewrite rule


RewriteRule ^(css|js|grafika|sample_photos|avatars25|avatars_m ini|avatars_group|resources|ajax|colourmod|rss|bac kgrounds|bglib|adminlogin|vision|post_img|logo|db_ backup) - [L]
RewriteRule ^api\/ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(logout.php|randompic.php|sticker_data.php|my_sta tus.php|sticker.swf|delete_me.php|get_sms.php) - [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/].*$ index.php

Thanks.

From the lighttpd mod_rewrite documentation:

url.rewrite-once - Rewrites a set of URLs internally in the webserver BEFORE they are handled

url.rewrite-once = ( "<regex>" => "<relative-uri>" )

url.rewrite-repeat - Rewrites a set of URLs internally in the webserver BEFORE they are handled

url.rewrite-repeat = ( "<regex>" => "<relative-uri>" )

The difference between these options is that, while url.rewrite-repeat allows for applying multiple (seperately defined) rewrite rules in a row, url.rewrite-once will cause further rewrite rules to be skipped if the expression was matched. As such, url.rewrite-once behaves like Apaches' RewriteRule ... [L]

Your first three RewriteRule directives appear to be set to prevent rewrite substitution for the paths listed, so you may want to use a negative match operator to redirect everything except the URI's which match to your index.php file.

Negative match example:

url.rewrite-once = ( "^(/(?!(css|js)).*)" => "/index.php" )

Hi,

this rule ok thank you

url.rewrite-once = ( "^(/(?!(css|js)).*)" => "/index.php" )


i create another rule

url.rewrite-once = ( "^(/(?!(/mitdev/revou/(css|js))).*)" => "/mitdev/revou/index.php" )

But this is not working. i have no idea???/

Give this one a try:

url.rewrite-once = (
  "(.*)(/(?!.*\.(css|js)$))" => "$1/index.php"
)

This pattern should work by negative-matching files which end in .css or .js

hi,

i want negative match using directory

i use given code
url.rewrite-once = ( "^(/(?!(/mitdev/revou/(adminlogin|grafika))).*)" => "/mitdev/revou/index.php" ).

But this is not working.

I want Negative match using dirctory.

In that case, your rule would look more like this:

url.rewrite-once = (
  "(.*)(/(?!.*(directory\/|subdirectory\/)$))" => "$1/index.html"
)

There should not be any need to use the form "/mitdev/revou/" - simply matching the ending directory will do the trick.

To make your rules as easy as possible to manage in the future (or to assist with automated rule generation), you may want to add rules in the following manner:

url.rewrite-once = (
  "(.*)(/(?!.*(directory\/)$))" => "$1/index.html",
  "(.*)(/(?!.*(subdirectory\/)$))" => "$1/index.html"
)
