Question

I have a bunch of projects in parallel subdirectories that all have etc/lighttpd.conf files. The files are very simple; they just include a directive that looks like this:

url.rewrite-once = ('^/project(.*)$'=>'project/router.php?args=$1') 

Unfortunately, I just discovered that I can’t simply loop through them, because I’ll get a ‘duplicate config variable’ error. I see that the way I’m supposed to use it is like this:

url.rewrite-once = (     '^/project1(.*)$'=>'project1/router.php?args=$1'     ,'^/project2(.*)$'=>'project2/router.php?args=$1' ) 

However, if I make my per-directory config files just include the rewrites, and have a shell script build them, I can’t really put any OTHER lighty directives in the per-directory files. Then again, I’m new to lighty, so maybe I don’t need to and just don’t realize it.

What’s ‘the right way’ to do this?

try:

url.rewrite-once += ('^/project1(.*)$'=>'project1/router.php?args=$1') 

to append your new config to the existing variable instead of defining it again.
