lighttpd forum migration > Convert Apache mod_rewrite

Hi!

I'm working on moving my site off an apache host onto lighttpd, but I 
cannot get the .htaccess file to work.  I learned I have to put it in my 
lighttpd.conf file, under the specific host entry which I setup and have 
working (used for a virtual host kinda thing).

How would I convert this .htaccess file into lighttpd.conf code that I 
can place under the host entry for the server?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /rewrite.php [L]


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Brian

As far as I know, Lighttpd does not support the -f / -d options that 
mod_rewrite does.

However the rest of the rule is pretty simple - but I would think its a 
bad idea (as you obviously don't want static content being rewritten to 
rewrite.php.

Solution would be to write a more specific rule (rather than . ) - this 
would help.
