Cherokee Quickstart

Many users have told us that they would love to have some more documentation about Cherokee. One of the tasks before relasing 0.8 (which is almost ready by now) is documenting.

Yesterday I wrote a small tutorial that will be part of the documentation. It is a simple walkthrough to set up a couple of virtual servers, basic authentication (PAM and flat) and some redirections.

It will be available at the official site as soon as we make the release, at http://cherokee-project.com/doc

Here it is for now. No screenshots and not much styling in my blog, sorry. It’s just a  quick cut&paste. There’s a lot of other stuff I should be documenting instead of blogging ;)

Configuration Quickstart

This section briefly describes the whole administration web interface provided by cherokee-admin. This is the only recommended way of configuring Cherokee. If you are looking for development information, you should refer to the appropriate section, especially cherokee.conf file specification.

We will first show a quick overview of the available options, followed by a simple walkthrough. You can learn more about the options in their specific documentation entries.
