In this chapter, we have learned how to set up virtual hosting—from totally simple with mod_simple_vhost to absolutely flexible with mod_mysql_vhost. As in most circumstances we can control where our Web projects are, the simplest solution will usually suffice. Lastly, we can use simple selectors, which give us a lot more control on what modules we want to allow for which site, but need a reload of the configuration for every domain change.

Then, we had a brief look at the web application interfaces that Lighttpd offers and discussed how they can be configured in different Lighttpd versions. Chapter 11 will present detailed usage examples for common applications and programming languages.
