simple rewrite rule for getting permalinks of the form:
/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
working with lighttpd.
/etc/lighttpd.conf:
url.rewrite = ( “^(/[0-9]{4}/.*)” => “/index.php/$1” )
it picks up on the /2006/… and makes it /index.php/2006/….
it should probably look for the month and day to be extra-sure, but this works well enough.
