Apache AllowOverride equivalent in Lighttpd

Question

I've put a .htaccess file in my main directory of my lighttpd website like this:

url.rewrite-once = ( 
  "^/cat.php$" => "index.php"
)

And I have enabled mod_rewrite and mod_redirect in my lighttpd.conf and restarted lighttpd server.

But unfortunately when i type mydomain/cat.php i got error page 404.

I've found that in Apache there is necessery to write:

<Directory />
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

In config file. But I can not find equivalent of this setting for Lighttpd. What is this?
