~-[[http://wikkawiki.org/ModRewrite | Wikka and mod_rewrite]]
Before I get started, though, I need to acknowledge [[http://wikkawiki.org/JavaWoman | JavaWoman]] and [[http://wikkawiki.org/LadySerena | LadySerena]] from [[http://wikkawiki.org/WikkaOnIrc | #wikka]], both for their assistance in getting the URL rewriting working, and for encouraging me to record the results.
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 [[http://www.fastcgi.com/ | FastCGI]].
With respect to URL rewriting, the information on this Wiki regarding configuration of Apache's [[http://wikkawiki.org/ModRewrite | mod_rewrite]] module for Wikka was a good reference for understanding the requirements that I needed to match in lighttpd.
