 Lighttpd support
 ================
 
-.. note:: Lighttpd support is experimental.
-
-The uwsgi handler for Lighttpd lives in the ``/lighttpd`` directory of the
-uWSGI distribution.
-
-Building the module
--------------------
-
-First download the source of lighttpd and uncompress it. Copy the
-``lighttpd/mod_uwsgi.c`` file from the uWSGI distribution into Lighttpd's
-``/src`` directory. Add the following to the lighttpd ``src/Makefile.am``
-file, after the accesslog block:
-
-::
-
-  lib_LTLIBRARIES += mod_uwsgi.la
-  mod_uwsgi_la_SOURCES = mod_uwsgi.c
-  mod_uwsgi_la_LDFLAGS = -module -export-dynamic -avoid-version -no-undefined
-  mod_uwsgi_la_LIBADD = $(common_libadd)
-
-Then launch
-
-::
-
-  autoreconf -fi
-
-and as usual,
-
-::
-
-  ./configure && make && make install
+lighttpd >= 1.4.42 supports the uwsgi protocol with Python WSGI backends.
+The uwsgi protocol is similar to the SCGI protocol, and lighttpd supports
+both protocols in mod_scgi.
 
 Configuring Lighttpd
 --------------------
 
-Modify your configuration file:
+Modify your lighttpd.conf configuration file:
 
 ::
   
-  server.modules = (
-    ...
-    "mod_uwsgi",
-    ...
-  )
-
-  # ...
-
-  uwsgi.server = (
-    "/pippo" => (( "host" => "192.168.173.15", "port" => 3033 )),
+  server.modules += ( "mod_scgi" )
+  scgi.protocol = "uwsgi"
+  scgi.server = (
     "/" => (( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 3031 )),
   )
 
-If you specify multiple hosts under the same virtual path/URI, load balancing
-will be activated with the "Fair" algorithm.
