I fixed up the lua script that provides "clean" urls for drupal on lighty.
Heres the relevant lighttpd.conf section
$HTTP["host"] == "jlporter.com"{ server.document-root = var.basedir+"/blah/"
index-file.names = ( "index.php" )
magnet.attract-physical-path-to = ( "/etc/lighttpd/rewrite_drupal2.lua" )
}
rewrite_drupal2.lua originally obtained from: http://pixel.global-banlist.de/drupal.lua and linked from the lighty wiki: http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/lighttpd
section 3 #26
