Thanks Jean, it appears to have been a cache issue on the user end – thanks for the response Everything works!

Ben: Thanks for reporting this issue.

I checked the rewrite.lua file — it does contain the User-Agent string used by BlackBerry phones, so it should work. I can’t test as I don’t have access to a BlackBerry (or a BlackBerry simulator), though.

Only one issue reported back so far – problems as described above are still occurring with the Blackberry Torch (blackberry9800).

I’ve made changes to the Super Cache and WPtouch plug-ins, so I am wondering if there are any changes required within rewrite.lua?

Thanks,
Ben

Thanks very much for this. Fixed all the issues we were having with WPtouch (not loading new entries, always falling back to the main site when clicking through to a post).
Appreciate your time and effort

@Chrische: I like your solution. It makes it easy to include the config file for several virtual hosts.

In our case, there was no easy way to cover our requirements (caching!) using url.rewrite-once so we switched from configuring the rewrites in lighttpd-*.conf to the host-based LUA solution — which works great, BTW.

Nice Lua Script. I did it slightly different without lua: http://www.chrische.de/2010/04/lighttpd-in-verbindung-mit-wordpress-und-rewrites/
