Although Hyper Cache can be used under Lighttpd without extra configuration, it has problem with Mobilepress or other WP　mobile plugins. WP super cache works fine with mobilepress, but has compatible problem with Lighttpd. Hope this script will work with my VPS.

@d7: We’re still using this script on all our wp installations that run on lighttpd, and it works, so wp-supercache is not the culprit, maybe newer versions of lighttpd broke it?

No, it doesn’t clash, they can be used together. I’m not 100% sure of the order, maybe it depends on when you invoke them in the config. Try it and see.

Thanks for the lua script. Can I have both LUA and url.rewrite ? Would it clash ?

TIA

I can’t believe I never looked close enough to the LUA file to realise it bypasses the need for mod_rewrite. Awesome! Thanks.
