h1. Virtual Host database
{{>toc}}
*Module: mod_vhostdb*
h2. Description
(since lighttpd 1.4.46)
virtual host database to provide vhost docroot
*Note:* STATUS: experimental (testing and feedback appreciated)
h2. Options
table{margin-left: 2em}.
|_.option |_. description |
| vhostdb.backend | "dbi", "ldap", "mysql", or "pgsql" |
| vhostdb.cache | caching parameters (see below) |
| vhostdb.dbi | mod_vhostdb_dbi config |
| vhostdb.ldap | mod_vhostdb_ldap config |
| vhostdb.mysql | mod_vhostdb_mysql config |
| vhostdb.pgsql | mod_vhostdb_pgsql config |
h2. Caching
@vhostdb.cache = ("max-age" => "600")@ (default: inactive; no caching) (since lighttpd 1.4.56)
cache docroot in memory to reduce load on the backend. max-age is in seconds. cache is checked for expiration every 8 seconds, so actual caching may be up to 8 seconds longer than configured max-age.
