Okay, so I've recently moved my webserver box from Server 2003 with Apache 2.2.x to Ubuntu Server 11.04 with Lighttpd. I like it way better, so much faster, however I'm setting up a store online for my mom using PrestaShop right now. It has the feature of "Friendly URL's", which I would like enabled. However, it doesn't have a settings file available for Lighttpd anywhere public that I can find, been looking for awhile.

Now, I've found a Lighttpd setup that people seem to be claiming works, but when I use it, everything works in terms of rewriting pages and what not, but the images for categories and items don't show up.
I'm not the greatest with htaccess and rewrite strings, so if anyone can help me out, that would be great. Heres the info I got:

This is my setup I'm currently using to rewrite on my lighttpd box:
Code:
	# ReWrite rules for the PrestaShop software.
	url.rewrite-once = (
		"^/([a-z0-9]+)\-([a-z0-9]+)(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)/([_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.jpg$" => "/img/p/$1-$2$3.jpg",
		"^/([0-9]+)(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)/([_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.jpg$" => "/img/c/$1$2.jpg",
		"^/lang-([a-z]{2})/([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.html(\?(.*))?" => "/product.php?id_product=$3&isolang;=$1$6" ,
		"^/lang-([a-z]{2})/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.html(\?(.*))?" =>"/product.php?id_product=$2&isolang;=$1&$4",
		"^/lang-([a-z]{2})/content/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(\?(.*))?" =>"/cms.php?id_cms=$2&isolang;=$1&$4",
		"^/lang-([a-z]{2})/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(\?(.*))?" =>"/category.php?id_category=$2&isolang;=$1&$5" ,
		"^/([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.html(\?(.*))?" => "/product.php?id_product=$2&$5" ,
		"^/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.html(\?(.*))?" =>"/product.php?id_product=$1&$4",
		"^/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(\?(.*))?" =>"/category.php?id_category=$1&$4" ,
		"^/content/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(\?(.*))?" =>"/cms.php?id_cms=$1&$4" ,
		"^/([0-9]+)__([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(\?(.*))?" =>"/supplier.php?id_supplier=$1&$4" ,
		"^/([0-9]+)_([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(\?(.*))?" =>"/manufacturer.php?id_manufacturer=$1&$4",
		"^/lang-([a-z]{2})/(\?(.*))?" => "/index.php?isolang=$1&$2"
	)

This is the .htaccess code it generated for a Apache setup during setup:

# Catch 404 errors
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php

They don't provide a setup for lighttpd from what I can find, sadly. The category and item photos don't show up, the category photos are linked in the fashion of "http://store.mystore.com/-home/.jpg", and the item photos are linked as "http://store.mystore.com/55-medium/test.jpg". I'm sure that first one is wrong, not sure about the second. The photos are indeed in the locations they are supposed to be at for the rewrites, too. They show up fine if I turn the rewrite feature off.

If someone could help me figure out the correct string, or point me to a lighttpd setup, that would be awesome.
Also, if you don't quite understand what I mean and you are good with this stuff and wanna see yourself, PM me and I'll shoot you the link. It's a public site, but I don't really want it publicly linked on this site. :)

Looking at the rewrite rules it generated, one question pops to mind: Who designed this shit?
(Not helpful, I know, but still...)

Well, I don't know much about this stuff as of right now, but I thought the same thing. I looked at it and thought "there has to be a less repetitive way to do this...". Lol
But oh well, I just find it amazing that with software as big as PrestaShop, that they only offer a .htaccess config and nothing else. Lighttpd is what most people on linux use...

Lighttpd is nice but it is still Apache that is most popular on Linux. The LAMP stack (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) is the big one in the industry.
Now then, if you want to experiment, try out Litespeed (http://litespeedtech.com). It supports the standard Apache .htaccess files and rewrite rules but is a whole lot faster.

As for what you have there, do you have any virtual hosts setup? If so, where is that rewrite block located? In the virtual host itself or in the main config file?

I indeed do have vhosts set up, and the rewrite block is located inside the vhost setup for that one site.
This is the vhost setup for the site at hand, and all the vhost settings are placed at the very bottom of the lighttpd.conf file.

Code:
# store.mysite.com VHost Setup
$HTTP["host"] =~ "(^|\.)store.mysite.com$" {
	server.document-root =		"/Web-store/www/store.mysite.com/htdocs"
	server.errorlog =		"/Web-store/www/store.mysite.com/logs/error.log"
	accesslog.filename =		"/Web-store/www/store.mysite.com/logs/access.log"
	server.error-handler-404 =	"/Web-store/www/store.mysite.com/htdocs/404.php"

	# ReWrite rules for the PrestaShop software.
	url.rewrite-once = (
		"^/([a-z0-9]+)\-([a-z0-9]+)(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)/([_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.jpg$" => "/img/p/$1-$2$3.jpg",
		"^/([0-9]+)(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)/([_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.jpg$" => "/img/c/$1$2.jpg",

  • The Helper The Helper:

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
