Litespeed - Instantiate a virtual host
Instantiating a virtual host in Litespeed is very easy to do. That's all well and good (and this article explains how to go about doing that) but what does it mean?
What is the difference between a standard virtual host and one that has been instantiated?
Litespeed - Serve a Rails domain
The Ruby on Rails host template has been configured and, now that we've installed Mephisto, we have a full Ruby on Rails Application for Litespeed to serve.
After the basic setup, adding new Ruby on Rails domains takes seconds.
Litespeed - Serve a PHP domain
Now the PHP host template has been configured we can start to serve PHP domains. We'll sort out some permission issues and then create a PHP virtual host (this takes around 10 seconds per domain).
Litespeed - Rails Vhost configuration
Let's customise the EasyRailsWithSuEXEC template to fit our virtual host directory layout. Once done, adding Ruby on Rails virtual hosts to our Litespeed Server takes no time.
Litespeed - PHP Vhost configuration
Now we know the structure of our virtual host directories, let's go ahead and customise the PHP SuEXEC template to our needs. Once done, adding multiple PHP based virtual hosts to our Litespeed Server takes seconds.
Litespeed - Virtual Host Layout
This article outlines the layout used for the virtual hosts throughout the Litespeed Server setup articles.
Understanding the layout makes for quicker and easier setup of the server and consistency will save us time.
