@Bas: This post fills in the details on that technique: http://r00tshell.com/archives/2007/05/16/wordpress-lighttpd-permalinks-without-rewrite/. I’ve seen about ten different approaches to this problem so far, but is the cleverest and simplest, and it looks like it solves other problems as well. Working great for me so far.

@mwunm sorry to hear that, these are specific to lighty 1.5 and will only work with the permalink structure that I’ve chosen to use,/%category%/%postname%/. I’m now on WordPress 2.6.2 and the rules are still working great. Hope you find a solution that works for you.

The way I use lighttpd with WordPress’ permalinks is simply set server.error-handler-404 to WP’s index.php file — this is on 1.4, by the way.

Thanks, the rules works (with some small changes) on lighttpd 1.4.x but i cant’t post comments on my form. I think this is some permalink-issue. Can you help me?
