I've finally decided to setup DokuWiki as a personnal wiki, as it handles 2 of my first needs: namespaces and ACLs by namespaces.

Here are the options you need to set up to get clean URL rewriting in LightTPD.

In conf/dokuwiki.conf:

 $conf['userewrite']  = 1;        //this makes nice URLs: 0: off 1: .htaccess 2: internal  $conf['useslash']    = 1;        //use slash instead of colon? only when rewrite is on

The second line is optional, but I feel better handling namespaces pages with / - as subdirectories - instead of colons.

Actually, you can set option 2 (internal) for the userewrite parameter. Yet, URLs would be like "wiki/doku.php/mypage", and I'd prefer something like "wiki/mypage". In such a case (option 1), you need to set the following rules in lighttpd.conf:

 "^/wiki/?$" => "/wiki/doku.php",  "^/wiki/lib/(.*)/?$" => "/wiki/lib/$1",  "^/wiki/(.*)\?do=(.*)/?$" => "/wiki/doku.php?id=$1&do=$2",  "^/wiki/(.*)/?$" => "/wiki/doku.php?id=$1\
