Creating Simple Virtual Hosts With mod_mysql_vhost On Lighttpd
(Ubuntu 12.04)
This guide explains how you can use mod_mysql_vhost to create
simple virtual hosts on a lighttpd web server on Ubuntu 12.04.
With mod_mysql_vhost, lighttpd can read the vhost configuration
from a MySQL database. Currently, you can store the domain and
the document root in the MySQL database which results in very
simple virtual hosts. If you need more directives for your
vhosts, you'd have to configure them in the global section of
lighttpd.conf, which means they'd be valid for all vhosts.
Therefore, mod_mysql_vhost is ideal if your vhosts differ only in
the domain and document root.
