Installing Joomla 1.5.6 On A Lighttpd Web Server (Debian Etch) This guide explains how you can install Joomla 1.5.6 on a lighttpd web server on Debian Etch. Joomla comes with an .htaccess file with mod_rewrite rules (for Apache) (to enable search-engine friendly URLs) that do not work on lighttpd. Fortunately Joomla has a built-in method to make search-engine friendly URLs work on lighttpd as well.

There was a wave of Joomla 1.5 break-ins due to a critical security flaw. Every site running on Joomla < 1.5.7 can be in dander so You have to update to at least 1.5.7.
Thanks for this. I still have nightmares about my first attempt to install Joomla on my private LAMP server.
Great tutorial.
