NAME

cherokee - Cherokee Web Server

SYNOPSIS

cherokee [options]

DESCRIPTION

cherokee is an extremely fast, flexible and embeddable web server.

OPTIONS

This command will launch the Cherokee webserver. It accepts the following options: -h, --help Prints a brief help message and terminates execution -V, --version Prints Cherokee's version and terminates execution -t, --test Perform a sanity check on the configuration file. The server will not run. -d, --detach Launches the server as a background process (default behaviour is to stay attached to the controlling terminal). -C<PATH>, --config=<PATH> Specifies an alternative path for the configuration file to use instead of the default cherokee.conf -p<PORT>, --port=<PORT> TCP port number to which the server will listen. -r<PATH>, --documentroot=<PATH> Launches a server exposing statically the specified directory. When launched with -r, the configuration file is ignored, and the Cherokee instance runs with its default values. -i, --print-server-info Print server technical information. -v, --valgrind Execute the worker process under Valgrind. Used only for development and troubleshooting purposes.

The following signals are supported by Cherokee: SIGHUP, Restarts the server gracefully SIGUSR1, Restarts the server closing all the opened connections SIGUSR2, Reopens the log files SIGTERM, Exits

BUGS

Bug reports I would appreciate hearing of any problems you have with Cherokee. I would also like to hear from you if you have successfully used Cherokee, especially if you are using it for a distribution. Report bugs to http://bugs.cherokee-project.com There is a mailing list for discussion among Cherokee users and for announcements of new and test versions. To join, send a message to cherokee-admin@cherokee-project.com with the line: subscribe cherokee in the body of the message. The submission address is cherokee@cherokee-project.com.

SEE ALSO

Cherokee can be run either with this command or cherokee-worker(1). This last option is discouraged if you are not developing though. Note that, for most systems, a startup/shutdown script such as /etc/init.d/cherokee is provided and will probably be the most convenient invocation method.
