Alrighty, then, thanks for the useful tips, I guess you'd know, if
anybody did, right? ;)
I'll just dig in and see what we get.

I remember one person with a lighttp setup, but he is not active on
~friendica at the moment ;-)
But if you find a working setup it would be great if we could put it into
the wiki for reference.
so long

Mike:
Dude, thanks to your tip (and URL architecture, I imagine), it was a
piece of cake, and guess what? Using Lighty, it looks like one *doesn't*
have to be in the web server root. :D
$HTTP["host"] == "friendica.example.com" {
server.document-root = "/var/www/friendica"
# Got the following 'Drupal Clean URL'after Mike suggested trying
# something along those lines, from user 'drupik' at
http://drupal.org/node/1414950
url.rewrite-if-not-file = (
"^\/([^\?]*)\?(.*)$" => "/index.php?q=$1&$2",
"^\/(.*)$" => "/index.php?q=$1"
)
}
I even went and got an SSL certificate from StartCom ("cheap charlie",
that's me!), will try making the .pem used for a subdomain specific,
too, since StartCom only gives one free cert subdomin, wildcards cost.
And I think its not entirely a bad idea to have a cert for Friendica, a
different one for WordPress, and third for mail. (Anybody have any
insight into this?)
However, my Exim needs a wee tweak: my registration email was frozen.
(*Love* the red light/green light thing, btw. Nice. :)

By all means, please do put this in the wiki. I hereby put that puppy
into the public domain, gladly.
