lighttpd forum lighty > How to combine url.redirect and url.rewrite

Hi all!
I started with lighttpd today and I am totally surprised HOW fast it is.
But I have one problem i simply can not solve and I really hope one of 
you can please solve me that.

i have in my configuration-file:

$HTTP["host"] =~ "^server\.net" {
url.redirect = (
"^/(.*)$" => "http://www.server.net/$1"
)
}

url.rewrite = (
"^/city-([0-9]+).htm" =>
"/city.php?city=$1")

when i browse http://www.server.net/city-1.htm everythings working well.
when i browse http://server.net/city-1.htm i am forwarded to 
http://www.server.net/city.php?city=1

how do i need to combine my redirect-rule and my rewrite-rule that i am 
forwared to http://www.server.net/city-1.htm

I don't know if it will help, but try reversing those two directives. 
Rewrite first, then redirect.

$HTTP["host"] =~ "^server\.net" {
url.redirect = (
"^/(.*)$" => "http://www.server.net/$1"
)
}

$HTTP["host"] =~ "^www\.server\.net" {
url.rewrite = (
"^/city-([0-9]+).htm" =>
"/city.php?city=$1")

}

would work for you.
