0.5.5 debs

there are dependency problems with 0.5.5 debs on ubuntu dapper.  what 
would it take to build ubuntu debs?  if it cookbook (i.e. fiddle with 
dependencies and test) I'd consider taking on the task of maintaing 
them.  building from tarballs is so old school. :-) I just need to know 
how much work is involved and have a mentor to get me started.

Hi eric.
Gunnar Wolf is nowdays the maintainer of cherokee deb packages, maybe you 
could write him in order to solve any problem you're having with Cherokee 
packages.

By the way...which dependency problem have you found when you tried to install 
cherokee?

I wish I could tell you but unfortunately, I have lost the scrollback
buffer.

I know there was one dependency problem with gnutls libraries (revision
differences) and I believe there were one or two more.  The problem I
had with chasing all those dependencies was that it altered the baseline
system more than I was comfortable with.  For example, let's say there
is a security update for gnutls.  Since I downloaded and installed the
deb files with dpkg, I would never see the update and more likely,
gnutls would be overwritten with the security update from ubuntu.

Anyway, it was setting me up for a maintenance headache that I just
don't need.

And no, making debian one of the repositories is not a acceptable.
Every time I have done it, I have ended up reinstalling the system
within a very short time.  Which is why I want to build the packages on
and for specific ubuntu releases.  Shortest easiest path for the less
astute user will make it easier to adopt Cherokee instead of Apache

Did I hit a bug? - PHP session error


I'm using the Windows version 0.5.4, not sure if this problem also
exists on other platforms. PHP is set up with phpcgi handler (conf
file is shown below this email) PHP always fails to read session data.
I found this problem with a larger PHP project. I then wrote a simple
PHP script to demo this, see below.

Note that the same script works fine when PHP is used with fcgi handler
on Cherokee. It also works fine as CGI with other web servers I've
tested.

Numbers says
that Cherokee 0.4.29 (released on November 2005)
	is 20% slower
than lighttpd 1.4.11 (released on March 2006),
when downloading 16 KB files.

Surely the difference in speed is much higher
with smaller files (less than 4-5 KB).

This is expected, the following reasons
should be taken in account.

1) The comparison is a bit unfair because
   Cherokee is still in a wild development phase
   whereas lighttpd has crossed the 1.x barrier
   ages ago.

2) Cherokee 0.4.29 is more than 4 months older
   than lighttpd 1.4.11.

3) Current stable release of Cherokee (0.5.5)
   is a bit faster than 0.4.29.

  The CGI interface is old and deprecated. If you want to use PHP with
  Cherokee you ought to use the FastCGI interface (fcgi handler).

Re: php5: location of php.ini file?

All,
Thanks for the input, I was able to run the following command and find
out that PHP uses /etc/php.ini:
run php -i | grep "php.ini"
I'm using cherokee on an embedded system so I was also able to
recompile PHP and change its ini directory to a more preferred
location of "/etc/php5/php.ini"
FYI,
The embedded tools I'm using are provided by the opensource project
www.openebedded.org.  These tools work great and already have full
support for cherokee and PHP.
Regards,
Shane

You will want to make sure that the process that Cherokee is running 
under  is able to read and write to the directory that PHP stores its 
sessions to.  Check the php.ini file for that directory.
