Cherokee is a very fast, flexible and easy to configure Web Server
|
|
written by Alvaro Lopez Ortega <alvaro@alobbs.com>.
|
|
It supports the widespread technologies nowadays: FastCGI, SCGI,
|
|
PHP, CGI, SSI, TLS and SSL encrypted connections, Virtual hosts,
|
|
Authentication, on the fly encoding, Load Balancing, Apache
|
|
compatible log files, Data Base Balancing, Reverse HTTP Proxy,
|
|
Traffic Shaper, Video Streaming and much more.
|
|
|
|
A user friendly interface called cherokee-admin is provided for a
|
|
no-hassle configuration of the server.
|
|
|
|
If you are installing a high load http server, you will probably need
|
|
a zero-downtime process of log rotation. To achieve this, I strongly
|
|
recommend you to take a look to this cookbook:
|
|
* http://www.cherokee-project.com/doc/cookbook_managing_logs.html
|
|
|
|
If need to get popular web applications working or fine tune your
|
|
server, follow the cherokee's cookbooks page:
|
|
* http://www.cherokee-project.com/doc/cookbook.html
|
|
|
|
ffmpeg is an optional dependency (for multimedia streaming).

Notes about using this SlackBuild
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1) To specify the WWW root directory pass WWWROOT=/path/to/www/root
|
|
to the script, like this:
|
|
|
|
WWWROOT=/var/www/htdocs-cherokee ./cherokee.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
2) If you want to enable IPv6 support, pass IPV6=yes to the script.
|
|
3) If you want to disable the Cherokee-admin installation, pass
|
|
ADMIN=no to the script.
|
|
4) This script builds Cherokee with support for MySQL client library
|
|
by default. If you want to avoid the dependency on MySQL client
|
|
library, or just build Cherokee without this support, pass MYSQL=no
|
|
to the script.
|
|
5) If you want to build Cherokee with debugging options, enable trace
|
|
facility by passing TRACE=yes to the script.
|
|
6) The $WWWGROUP group and the $WWWUSER user account are set to cherokee.
|
|
To run cherokee as a different user/group specify them passing the
|
|
options WWWUSER/WWWGROUP to the slackbuild, like
|
|
|
|
WWWUSER=cherokee WWWGROUP=cherokee ./cherokee.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
You want to create first a dedicated user/group.
|
|
|
|
groupadd -g 306 cherokee
|
|
useradd -u 306 -g cherokee -d /var/www/htdocs-cherokee cherokee
|
|
|
|
See http://slackbuilds.org/uid_gid.txt for current reccomendations (if any)
|
|
7) If you want to use it with php, remember to add your user to the
|
|
apache group, so that it can use /var/lib/php, like
|
|
|
|
gpasswd -a cherokee apache
|
