Description
===========

With MySQL-based vhosting you can store the path to a given host's
document root in a MySQL database.

.. note:: Keep in mind that only one vhost module should be active at a time.
          Don't mix mod_simple_vhost with mod_mysql_vhost.

Options

Example: ::

  mysql-vhost.db             = "lighttpd"
  mysql-vhost.user           = "lighttpd"
  mysql-vhost.pass           = "secret"
  mysql-vhost.sock           = "/var/mysql.lighttpd.sock"
  mysql-vhost.sql            = "SELECT docroot FROM domains WHERE domain='?'"


MySQL setup: ::

  GRANT SELECT ON lighttpd.* TO lighttpd@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';

  CREATE DATABASE lighttpd;

  USE lighttpd;

  CREATE TABLE domains (
    domain varchar(64) not null primary key,
    docroot varchar(128) not null
  );

  INSERT INTO domains VALUES ('host.dom.ain','/http/host.dom.ain/');
