[»] Documentation?
by Myok - Jun 10th 2002 00:13:12

Apart from the Makefile, is there any documentation for the Cherokee web server? I've been to the home page, and it doesn't appear to have anything.

I'd also like to see at least something in terms of documentation. Considering it gives an error when I try to use the 'User' config setting, a way around that would be nice.

Also, it claims to support php4, but I haven't seen anything hinting of that support since installing it.

Deinstalled until then.

Looks good in the benchmarks, I just hope it makes it out of the starting gate

Please check out http://www.0x50.org for the documentation. (It is also included in the tarball)
There is documentation which explains how to install and set up the server in a few simple steps.

Those problems you speak about were fixed long time ago :-)
