I followed instructions all working great. virtual servers work good if on c-drive. if i put on another hd they dont work. i changed path to /media/name/websitename still does not work. i mounted 2nd hd on boot and made virtual server to folder as well but nothing. virtual server only seems to work (find site) if on c-drive same as cherokee. any ideas please.

Try this

The only thing you need to do is make phpMyAdmin accessible by Cherokee and all the script files must have permissions suitable for the user running Cherokee.

Note:- I am assuming you have already installed mysql server

Ubuntu installation

sudo apt-get install php5-cgi php5-mysql phpmyadmin

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /var/www/phpmyadmin

Since Cherokee doesn’t appear in the list of web servers provided by the package installation script, select any of them to proceed with phpMyAdmin’s configuration.

The commands above asume you are running Cherokee as root and that your web server’s document root is /var/www.

If you were to run it as www-data, simply change the script’s owner

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/phpmyadmin

Now point your web browser to http://localhost/phpmyadmin, and use the MySQL user information to access the databases.

Most likely Cherokee is unable to start because you are not root. And you want to bind the webserver to a privileged port (80).

Hi,
The info is pretty cool but, I am new to ubuntu and for that mater new to web development, I found some issues. I installed ubuntu 9 and installed cherokee from this tutorial. But admin page shows server status as ‘not running’. when i pressed the launch button it shows an error as

Could not launch the server

Something happened while launching the server. The error reported by the server follows:

server.c:630: Can’t bind() socket (port=80, UID=0, GID=0)

even though i changed the port setting in General settings as 9090. Please advise.

thanks in advance,
kgv

Try Awstats

Apache using the following directive

ScriptAlias /awstats/ “/etc/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/”

To implement this in Cherokee use the following

Directory /awstats {
Handler cgi
DocumentRoot /etc/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/
}

and then add the .pl extension support

Extension pl {
Handler cgi
}

Hope this helps

thanks to kevin, I was having tons of trouble with php.

Any idea on a good stats tracking package that works well with cherokee?

I know my bandwidth usage thanks to bmon, but I have no idea about page loads/video views (new article idea?!?)

To make PHP work for a certain virtual server, go to it, and under behavior, click on wizard, and under the misc category, you’d find “configure PHP wizard”, and then you’re good to go.

Took me a while to find it, so I thought it would be worth a post

Disregard my last post - a cherokee update just became available, and when I installed it, it fixed the problem and cherokee is running now.

No joy on intrepid -

jjs@matisyahu:~$ sudo cherokee-admin

Web Interface:
URL: http://127.0.0.1:9090/

[03/06/2009 13:19:33.233] (error) plugin_loader.c:194 - dlopen(/usr/lib/cherokee/libplugin_server_info.so): /usr/lib/libcherokee-client.so.0: undefined symbol: cherokee_buffer_drop_endding

The main cherokee instance won’t start either. Oh well, back to apache.
