¿SSL + virtual hosts?

Hi:

    I want to enable SSL for one of my virtual servers in Cherokee. I've 
already created cherokee.pem file using the "create SSL keys" how-to 
included in the documentation. Server is correctly configured without 
SSL (I mean, virtual servers work as expected).

    I don't know how to enable SSL on a virtual server basis. If I 
create cherokee.pem for one of my domains and enable ssl module in 
Cherokee, Cherokee doesn't start:

    virtual_server.c:330: ERROR: OpenSSL: Private key does not match the 
certificate public key
    server.c:812: Can not init TLS for the default virtual server

    I suppose that it's trying to enable SSL in "default" virtual 
server. How do I tell Cherokee to use that certificate only in one 
virtual server?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
Armando.

Interested on new "mirror" handler


Hi folks, happy new year!

As a RoR developer, I am be *very* interested on setting up Cherokee 
instead Apache on the typical Rails stack [1] which -please correct me 
if I'm wrong- would be possible with the new "mirror" handler [2].

Some people use lighty instead Apache but its mod_proxy plugin seems 
buggy, so many people turn back to the oldie and heavy Apache. I think 
you have a great opportunity to gain the love of all those Railers!

Alvaro, please alert us if you need some RoR testing with the handler. 
Kudos for the great work!

Greetings,
   Raul

Hummm... Álvaro, do you really think it is a desirable feature? After
all, PHP _is_ a SSI language. Yes, not exactly the one being
requested, but functionally equivalent. And -of course, IMHO- this is
one of the few "correct" uses of PHP ;-)

   Well, we need all the testing that people can perform. Cherokee 0.6
   is meant to be released within a month, so we'd better start doing
   some serious testing.

   All kind of the testing, bug reports and questions are welcome. The
   upcoming version (current trunk in the repository) has change quite
   a bit since we forked it from the 0.5 branch: we've got a brand new
   configuration system, a few new modules and many performance
   improvements.

   By the way, wouldn't be better to use SCGI handler rather than the
   HTTP mirror module?  Actually, I suppose it depends on how performs
   each one of the modules on the RoR side.

Well, I wanted to use .SHTML files with CGI PERL programs.
I went all the way as to try to develop an "example" module, which could be used as a base to build new modules, and was about to post for some help setting up autotools to compile the new module, and go on to try to develop the SHTML module, but if it turns out not to be a "desirable" feature, well, there's always Apache, I guess.

Anyway, here's what I managed to do. http://mexinetica.com/~lanjoe9/archivos/cherokee/handler_example.zip.

It should compile with the 0.5.6 source code release, I couldn't get the SVN version to compile at all.
Please help me figure out how to set up GNU autotools (autoconf, automake, etc), so they compile the new module. I'm kind of new to the autojungle.
Thanks.

Re: Server Side Includes

And while PHP may be functionally equivalent, the app I'm trying to run on cherokee would need to be totally re-implemented, which would be an "undesirable feature".

And another thing: I don't like PHP.

   We ought to let people make that decision by themselves, don't you
   think? Independently of whether we think SSI is a good technology or
   not.. ;-)

   Actually, I suppose it worth investing a reasonable amount of work
   to write it down once the rest of the higher priority tasks are done
   and dusted.  Currently it isn't in my top priority task list, but if
   someone writes it down I'd be happy to include it.

Re: Server Side Includes


Can anyone help me out a bit to make the "example" module compile with the rest of cherokee? I've read the GNU documentation but still can't figure it out :S
Cherokee is a complex project indeed...

   You only have to add the appropriate entries to the virtual host
   configuration: SSLCertificateFile, SSLCertificateKeyFile or
   SSLCAListFile.

   By the way, double check that you added it inside the "Server"
   entry. It should be something like this:

   Server host2.com, www.host2.com {
      # Basic stuff
      # (..)

      # HTTPS
      SSLCertificateFile /path/file
      # (..)
   }

Within a month? Great news! :)

Ok, is there any doc about the new configuration system?

Yeah, I tried the SCGI approach but:
- Zed Shaw himself discourages users from using SCGI Rails in favour of 
Mongrel[1].
- SCGI Rails looks discontinued: latest release is more than a year old.

So it seems that Mongrel has become the way to go now.
