Modifying lighttpd rewrite rules.. conflicting with mod_alias.

First off, the migration of vBulletin/vBSEO from Apache to lighttpd was flawless. You guys did a great job ensure cross httpd compatibility.

The only 'hiccup' I've come across is having my rewrite rules trump my aliases. For example, if I try to access http://domain/webmail, vBSEO will rewrite me back to root.

I found the offending line, and when commented out, everything works fine:

Code:

"^/(.+)$" => "/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1"

My question is, will commenting out this line have unforseen repercussions? Or, am I going about this the wrong way and overlooking an even easier solution?

Thanks!

* Edit: Ok, I was wrong. Everything doesn't work fine. Apparently, commenting out that line causes vBSEO to break. However, my question still stands..

Hello,

you should add "webmail" folder to the exclusion list like:

Code:

"^(/(webmail|admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/.*)$" => "$1",

Oleg, as usual -- you nailed it.

Thanks again!

As a side note, so far, I'm blown away by lighttpd. Using lighttpd + fastcgi + xcache -- this thing screams.
