lighttpd symfony configuration w/ file existence lookup

11-symfony.conf

server.modules += ("mod_rewrite", "mod_magnet")

99-your-vhost.conf

$HTTP["host"] =~ "(^|\.)your-domain\.com$" {
  server.document-root = "/var/www/your-domain.com/web"

  server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/your-domain.com/error.log"
  accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd/your-domain.com/access.log"

  include "symfony.conf"
}

rewrite.lua

attr = lighty.stat(lighty.env['physical.path'])
if (not attr) then
        lighty.env['uri.path'] = '/index.php'
        lighty.env['physical.rel-path'] = lighty.env['uri.path']
        lighty.env['physical.path'] = lighty.env['physical.doc-root'] .. lighty.env['physical.rel-path']
end

symfony.conf

url.rewrite-once = (
  "^/(.*)\.(.*)" => "$0",
  "^/([^.]+)$" => "/index.php/$1",
  "^/$" => "/index.php"
)
magnet.attract-physical-path-to = ( "/etc/lighttpd/rewrite.lua" )

As of lighttpd 1.4.x the existence file lookup is simpler with url.rewrite-if-not-file

url.rewrite-if-not-file = (
        "^/$" => "$0",
        "^/(?!.+\.php)[^\?]+(\?.*)?" => "app.php/$1$2",
    )
