This works in lighttpd also / #4482

For this to work in lighttpd, you need to enable mod_rewrite in your lighttpd.conf. Then the following code snippet will do the proper rewriting:

from lighttpd.conf

url.rewrite-once += (
  "^/streber/([0-9]+)$" => "/streber/index.php?go=itemView&id=$1",
  "^/streber/([a-zA-Z]+)$" => "/streber/index.php?go=globalView&id=$1" )

If you do not access your streber install at myhost.com/streber/ you will need to edit this appropriately to reflect your changed directory names.
