Gunnar, Leonel,

How would you feel about providing a short cookbook on how to build Cherokee
.debs?

- Unpack a release tarball
- Clone the '/debian' directory from git
- Compile the whole thing with dpkg

I guess it'd be useful for people who use Debian/Ubuntu derivatives and/or
must stick to a old/stable version.

Hello:

The Oneiric package should work with debian Unstable, I haven't tested for
the stable debian release

do you want a formal doc or just a quick recepie ??

For the stable debian version we can do a backport but that's not the
debian stable meaning

Note that it's never recommended to use a package not built for your
specific distribution, as there might be subtle differences
(i.e. minor versions in libraries linked with) that _should_ not be
harmful but _might_ be.

Debian is currently shipping 1.2.99, and Leonel told me he would be
pushing his latest changes to our Git repository so we finally merge
back our trees. I'll wait for him to commit and then rebuild/upload.
The packages will be, of course, targetted at Debian Unstable.

Greetings,

People who use Debian/Ubuntu should use the provided packages.

People who use derivatives which are not binary-compatible and want to
provide a Cherokee package should base their work on our git tree, and
most preferrably, include their work (including tagging the specific
versions) in it.

If we are not fast enough to push new upstream releases, then please
join in and help us! Push the new Cherokee versions to the Git tree.

I'm not only using the Git tree for Debian work - I'd love to make it
useful for as many derivative distributions as possible. And one of
the points that makes Debian the most derived-from distribution is
that it's actually very easy to integrate your whole distribution work
in it.

Hello Gunnar,

It sounds great! What would you think about documenting that process somewhere, so we have a reference for people who are not used to build packages from source and/or use git? I believe it'd be quite useful for them.

Anyone having trouble with cherokee-admin on 1.2.100? Just tried setting it
up on RHEL 6.1 and separately on CentOS 6, cherokee-admin has trouble
starting on RHEL 6.1 but not on CentOS. Specifically, on RHEL,
cherokee-admin seemingly starts fine when run, but upon entering the
one-time password the web interface never loads & the browser waits for a
response forever. Curiously, this isn't the case on CentOS 6, where
cherokee-admin is able to load without a problem. I'm using the same
configurations between both and compiling from source.

I've still got to try and run cherokee-admin in debug mode and try it
without authentication etc, but I'm curious as to whether anything
significant changed between 1.2.99 and 1.2.100. The previous cherokee-admin
is currently working without trouble on the same RHEL machine.

TIA.

The problem here is that cherokee 'server' tries to connect to [::1]:4000
and the python backend is bound to 127.0.0.1:4000. This affects distro's
that ignorantly said: bind to the any address is limited to the address
family.

Now we should blame cherokee server as well, because it should try
[::1]:4000, and after it 127.0.0.1:4000.

The quick workaround for you: comment out the line ::1 localhost in
/etc/hosts

The proper fix would be to make the Python backend to bind to all the
interfaces associated with "localhost".

In my humble opinion the server should cope... yes this fix is good
yes, but I could even suggest using a unix socket...

The launching of interpreters that open Unix sockets is way less reliable.
We made cherokee-admin to use a TCP socket a while ago because of that.

Yep, that /etc/hosts line was the difference. CentOS defines "::1" as only
IPv6 localhost names (localhost6 etc) whilst RHEL defines it as all
incarnations.

Cherokee 1.2.100 installed and working fine on RHEL 6. Many thanks!

FYI, in case anyone tries to install the RPMs from the EPEL testing
repository, the current versions were built without LDAP and GeoIP support
(seemingly for all distros and architectures; see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746532).
