GetSimple with lighttpd

[Gatonegro]

Hello!

I was wondering wether anyone has had any experience with lighty and GetSimple. They seem like a reasonable combination for a light and simple setup (both in the user and in the server sides).

I've (apparently) succesfully installed it, and things work well save for:

- Clean URLs, which just don't work, and
- Editing themes: when, in theme-edit.php, I tell GS to save the changes, it just says "can't open file" in a blank page.

Save for this, things seem to work well, and the CMS shows promise. Good work!

Clean URLs, which just don't work

But they can work. It’s just that GetSimple has been developed in an Apache environment. To use mod_rewrite for Apache you use a HTACCESS-file. lighttpd does not support HTACCES-files, but it does support mod_rewrite. They have documentation about it, so you will just have to change the Apache mod_rewrite commands into those working for lighttpd.

Editing themes: when, in theme-edit.php, I tell GS to save the changes, it just says "can't open file" in a blank page.

This is often a permission error. If lighttpd supports CHMOD or something similar please make sure that the GetSimple has access to the theme files.

I think (and hope) that you will even be able to get those few errors worked out!

I am currently working with lighttpd and GetSimple. I have my server up and running with the proper dirs locked down and ssl/https running for the admin panel. I might post my config soon. Still working on some.... small problems.
