What is the simplest way to run a Lua script in Apache producing web pages? I am not an
experienced developer, I don't want to invest now in very complex APIs. If I want only to
be able to show some HTML pages, process forms and query a database, is there really a
simple and well documented way to do it with Lua?
A long, long time ago, in a far away galaxy, er, no, but that's old, for sure, I plugged a
Lua script into IIS (Internet Information Services, Microsof's Web server, which we used
at work at the time). It was quite simple, and I was able to interpret queries and server
pages with pure Lua.
The code is:

Quite outdated (HTML 4? Lua 5.0! Entities...) but perhaps simple enough to learn a bit
from it. I recommend, of course, to use more the robust libraries mentioned in this
thread... :-)
Well, I mentioned it just to say that indeed, if you can plug in a language able to
manipulate stdin and stdout into a Web server, you are already able to write a dynamic site.
