Configuring Lighttpd for Wikka


Introduction

I recently got Wikka running under lighttpd, and since I was only able to find limited documentation to support that effort either here or elsewhere, I thought I should document my experience for posterity.

Before I get started, though, I need to acknowledge JavaWoman and LadySerena from WikkaOnIrc #wikka, both for their assistance in getting the URL rewriting working, and for encouraging me to record the results.

Server Configuration

For my particular installation, I wanted to serve Wiki content out of the document root for a dedicated subdomain. So rather than have my Wiki reside at, say, http://www.example.com/wiki, I wanted it at http://wiki.example.com/. I also wanted it to use user-friendly URLs, like http://wiki.example.com/HomePage, rather than the out-of-the-box query-string URLs, such as http://wiki.example.com/wikka.php?wakka=HomePage.

To that end, I unpacked the Wikka distribution into the directory I had selected for my subdomain's document root, and then set about configuring lighttpd.


To be continued

This is just a placeholder for now. I'll finish this up soon.
