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. Finally, to get the best performance out of the combination of lighttpd and PHP, I chose to interface them using FastCGI.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.

This is just a placeholder for now. I'll finish this up soon.Code sample { Line 2 Line 3 { Line 4 } }
