Hi all.
After some hours working on the new cherokee.spec file i've decide not to 
rewrite it, not to reinvent the wheel.
If you wonder why, it's easy to understand
IMHO cherokee should be the same on every distribution, I mean, for example, 
by default RH-based system uses /var/www as DocumenRoot for Apache, but 
cherokee proyect don't wanna be Apache, do it?

So, in my opinion is better for all cherokee users to have the same paths and 
the same files everywhere, in order to make cherokee independent from any 
system,i think that's the best way to make systems administrators feel good 
with cherokee in every system, Suse, Debian, Red Hat, OpenSolaris...they only 
will be worry about cherokee issues, not guessing where cherokee.conf is or 
where libplugin_nn.so is, cause it's will be the same in every linux/unix.

Here is alo's spec file

Python Frameworks Bechmark - SCGI

Hi guys,

  If you're using the SCGI handler, I guess this will be interesting
  for you. It's a benchmark comparing Cherokee and lighttpd.

  	 http://www.cms.rk.edu.pl/benchmark_scgi.html

  The result is quite good actually. As you could expect, we won by
  far.. again :-)

    - lighttpd fails a 26.78% more than Cherokee.
      + Result: GOOD!

    - Cherokee didn't crash one single time, lighttpd crashed
      many times.
      + Result: Fair enough, a server should never ever crash.

    - We have to review the performance with less than 200
      simultaneous connections. I suppose we can improve the
      performance in that case.

  So, congratulations guys! We're on the right way. :-)

Re: Cherokee rpm files come alive

Hi Cherokees

RPM packages are avaiable at:

SRPM URL: http://manuel.todo-linux.com/cherokee-0.5.4-1.src.rpm
RPM URL: http://manuel.todo-linux.com/cherokee-0.5.4-1.i386.rpm

I've already started the official process to make cherokee an official package 
of Fedora Core, hope it will be ready in a few days. Stay tuned.

Cheers.

Hi Manuel,

I am not familiar with the creation of RPMs, but if you can use
anything from the packaging I've done for Debian [1], feel free to do
so. When packaging for a distribution, besides putting the files in
their place,

Thank you :-)

I've been talking with alo about that. We've decided to wait 'till my packages 
became an official extra package for fedora core.
Untill that moment, packages would be at:

http://manuel.todo-linux.com/cherokee-0.5.4-1.rpm
And:

http://manuel.todo-linux.com/cherokee-0.5.4-1.src.rpm

In order not to fill the server with temporaly paths, you know...

I hope in a few days, those rpm packages will be part of the fedora 
repositories, so... :-)

benchmarks all over the world :)

I see that my "benchmarks" (www.rk.edu.pl/benchmark.html) got quite popular :) a lot of crazy referers :) when I'll catch some time I'll make some real & nice tests on my amd64 gentoo install + write some Polish documentation for Cherokee.

windows & php

hi,

i have a strange problem with cherokee on windows using php.

because of a possible bug in a closed source odbc driver i needed to
recompile php for my-self and test a few things.

while setting up the environment i finally managed to compile php
(vanilla - w/o any patches.) the compiled php-cgi.exe and php.exe are
working just fine from the command line (even with omnihttpd) but if i
call a php script from cherokee it crashes - not cherokee but
php-cgi.exe with the following windows dialog:

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150004). Click on OK
to terminate the application.

so my question would be, do you have any idea why cherokee tend to crash
php? i almost tried everything while compiling php and disabled almost
everything (--disable-all didn't worked out.)

i really appreciate any help.

if you should need the self compiled php binaries just give me a
reply... 

my environment is:
winxp
cherokee 0.5.4 (also tried 0.5.3)
php 5.1.4

and php conf in cherokee looks like:

Extension php {                     
   Handler phpcgi {                 
     Interpreter C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe 
   }                                
}

Some more good press for Cherokee

Hi there guys,

Via digg.com I found this another article with good
press for Cherokee:

http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT5550934609.html

They basically say Cherokee is a great option as the
webserver component for deploying a MVC app in an
embedded system.

In their case they use and compare several Python tools
and choose ClearSilver for the template and SQLite for
the database.

P.S. Alo, no andaba muerto, andaba de parranda
     (en realidad con mucho trabajo)

Re: Need for new benchmarks

Hi,

I have heard on the lighttpd-list that you plan some new benchmarks ;-)

I have read the Mail-Thread from May 2006 and would suggest to not
exclue the nginx because it's also a server which people use ;-)

Please can you add to the *deal*
(http://alobbs.com/pipermail/cherokee/2006-May/001538.html) the nginx, i
would also be there to help ;-)

e.g. http://survey.netcraft.com/Reports/0608/

lighty 17 82018
nginx  18 80555

Btw.: there is a *new* site in english http://nginx.net/ ;-)

Regards

Alex
