This sounds weird, are you sure you’ve configured your lighttpd correctly and reloaded the settings?

I had tried this method before.
The url can be shown in this format, but when I clicked the url, it was 404 page.

In the “Permalink Settings” select “custom structure” and set it to /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

hi,guy!
i used your rewrite rule to config my wp on lighttpd. but all the urls have a “index.php” part. for instance, the url is “http://xleo.com/index.php/year/month/123″, and i want to change it to “http://xleo.com/year/month/123″.
what should i do? please help me.

Hi Jesin, I’m not familiar with wp-supercache, but wp-cache worked out-of-the-box for me.

Wow your solution works like a gem. Thanks !
Is there a similar solution for wp-supercache plugin too ?

For the people who have trouble access /wp-admin after implementing Guy’s method, try this:

url.rewrite = ( “^/(wp-admin|wp-includes|wp-content)/(.*)” => “$0″,”^/(.*)\.(.+)$” => “/$0″,”^/(.+)/?$” => “/index.php?/$1″ )

After this the link for wp-admin works like a charm.

It works for me at least.
