RewriteRule ^page-([A-Za-z0-9]+)   tiki-index.php?page=$1                   [QSA,L]
but to solve problems if 
some special charakters can appear in the url like in a lot of none en languqes
then you ve to change all rules unicode starts at x0080 up to x00ff for the latin1
(http://de.selfhtml.org/inter/unicode.htm unicode)
RewriteRule ^page-([A-Za-z0-9\x80-\xff\._\+\s]+)   tiki-index.php?page=$1                   [QSA,L]
works now fine in german and if ther is a whitspace

so the rewrite works 

then setup sefurl as supported

problem on most none root systems is the hard coded tmp dir
then open ./lib/adodb/adodb.lib.php

near line 161 find
if (!isset($ADODB_CACHE_DIR)) {
			$ADODB_CACHE_DIR = '/tmp'; //(isset($_ENV['TMP'])) ? $_ENV['TMP'] : '/tmp';
		} else {
			// do not accept url based paths, eg. http:/ or ftp:/
			if (strpos($ADODB_CACHE_DIR,'://') !== false) 
				die("Illegal path http:// or ftp://");
		}
		
repace with 
		
		
if (!isset($ADODB_CACHE_DIR)) {
			$ADODB_CACHE_DIR = './temp'; //(isset($_ENV['TMP'])) ? $_ENV['TMP'] : '/tmp';
		} else {
			// do not accept url based paths, eg. http:/ or ftp:/
			if (strpos($ADODB_CACHE_DIR,'://') !== false) 
				die("Illegal path http:// or ftp://");
		}

must work for most systems
