Thank you for the helpful guide. Was going to have a go at trying a few newer, server oriented distros this weekend, and the familiar ‘buntu should be as a place as any to start. 🙂
Is there any way to make it work with cherokee instead of apache2? During the install it asks me what server I’m running, and cherokee isn’t amongst the options… Trying to access the adress doesn’t work unless I switch the web server… Thanks!
