Vanilla 2 running on lighttpd - problem with rewrite

    Posts: 7

    url.rewrite = (
    "^/(applications|cache|conf|js|library|plugins|themes|uploads)/(.*)$"=>"/$1/$2",
    "^/([^\?]+)(\?(.*))$" => "/index.php?p=$1/$2",
    "^(.*)$"=>"/index.php?p=$1"
    )


    this are my rewrite rules, but there are some errors in vanilla :(
    f.e. http://host/profile/1/username -> Change My Picture popup generating 404 not found :(

    any idea why?

    Are you getting a 404 when you try http://host/index.php?p=profile/1/username?

    I am also getting the same error. Thought at first it could be my theme, tried another theme and it still throws me to a 404 . Using vanilla 2 newest version.

    I think, the most problematic thing is url handling inside javascripts.

    When you're visiting host/profile/1/user and click for example Change My Picture link - the popup shows 404, but the same link as right-click Open Link in New Tab works perfect.

    Any idea?

    Did you ever figure this out? I'm in the same pickle as you. I'd really like to use friendly URLs, but I don't quite understand why this works when you open it in a new tab but not when you click it.

    nope, still waiting for 2.0.4, hope it'll be fixed.

    @tece: 2.0.4 (well, 2.0.6) is here! Any further development on this front? I tried using these rewrite rules and I still got the 404s on the change picture pop up. I haven't had a chance yet, but I was going to do some more playing around now that I've 2.0.6 installed.

    Have you tried my kung fu above? Everything works like a charm on lighty.
    Lighttpd's mod_rewrite is kinda black box, but I've been able to duplicate every apache's rewrite rule so far without heavy artillery like mod_magnet and lua.
    KISS-way FTW.
