Unfortunately there was a bug introduced with version 1.4.21 of lighttpd which rendered the default vhost in mod_simple_vhost broken (always 404).

Therefor we would like to draw your attention to this new testing version.

Please test it as much as possible and provide us with feedback.
A lot of testing ensures a good release.
If no showstoppers are encountered, there will be a final release soon.
