Major Additions - Zoints SEO

********Please do not use this modification unless you are VERY well educated on SEO and forum modification********

Zoints is a company that believes that forums are the killer application of the internet. We want to empower forum owners to take their community to the next level. Therefore, Zoints has been developing an extremely powerful vBulletin forum SEO and revenue enhancing solution for more than two years now. However, because we are focusing on our Forum Network and Thread Tagging System, we have decided to release this SEO solution to the vBulletin community under the lgpl license. Zoints SEO is now open source and NOT supported by us. We hope that the vBulletin dev community comes together to take this already powerful solution and make it even better. Empower yourselves

Zoints SEO can be discussed here or http://network.zoints.com (again, we will not be providing official support).

Has anyone successfully implemented this running lighttpd? I'm trying to swap over to lighttpd, and I've got the mod_rewrite running and put the rewrite rules in and nearly everything works, except when you click the "Arrow" on a forumdisplay that takes you directly to a certain post in the format :

http://www.url.com/forum/showthread.php?p=12345#post12345

This URL is rewritten as :

http://www.url.com/forum/thread-title-t123.html?p=12345#post12345

Apache can handle that, lighttpd gives a 404. Here's the rewrite rules I have in place for lighttpd. Anyone help?

url.rewrite = ( "^/forum/([a-z0-9_\-]*-(f|all)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$" => "/forum/forumdisplay.php/$1", "^/forum/([a-z0-9_\-]*-(t|p)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$" => "/forum/showthread.php/$1" )

He's right, I'm on 3.6.5, actually and it's working fine on Apache. I just really would love some insight on making this work with lighttpd. The rewrite rules just "almost" get there for lighttpd, and I've got mod_magnet installed, just don't know anything about using LUA for rewrites. Anyone got anything for me? I'm thinking about lighttpd serving all static content and forwarding any PHP/HTML requests to an apache back end, but I'm getting lag on certain web apps that I use (and others are fine). They work fine with just lighttpd, but I can't get the rewrites to work!
