cherokee on windows

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask about the status of the cherokee ws on
windows. Is
it stable enough to be used in production? I am also
interested in its
scalability. I downloaded version 0.5 for win32 and when it
starts it
says:

Cherokee Web Server 0.5.0: Listening on port 80, TLS
disabled, IPv6
disable using win32, 64 fds limit, 5 threads, 12 fds in each

Is the 64 fds a hard limit? What if someone wants to be able
to
sustain more load?

Thank you for your work!

Stelios

Hi Stelianos,

  The plain and simple truth is that, I don't know. We did
the port a
  few months ago now, but we haven't had much feedback
about it.

  I guess we ought to improve the Win32 version of the
functions:

    cherokee_sys_fdlimit_get()
    cherokee_sys_fdlimit_set()

  Those are the ones which read and set the file descriptor
number
  limit.

  Definitely, it'd be really nice to have a Windows hacker
on the
  team. Most of the people here are kind of Linux guys, so
some times
  it is tough to work on this sort of little fixes.

  Thanks for your interest Stelios

Hi all,
i'm a new user of cherokee, and i want to tell you my
little story with 
this software. I believe it is funny, but someone could not
agree with 
me... 
My english is quite poor, sorry for that. But i still try to
explain all 
details...

I found cherokee some time ago, but i've never tried...
Until yesterday. 
I think is perfect for my home-server (apache is too for my
needed).
Ops... is  apache a forbidden word?! 

Well. I understood immediately that the software is well
designed and 
perfect for me... And i installed it on my gentoo box.
No problem, the server was up in about twenty minutes (it's
an old 
PentiumII and compile time is loooong).
Perfect, but... I'm a php addicted, then... i want php
support!

Urgh! I'm unlucky, my php installation was without cgi
support! No 
panic, i could reinstall it!
But php is a huge program for my box, then i preferred to
leave it in 
background with nohup.

(after some time)

I tried again my cherokee with php support, but... no luck,
it didn't start!
Why?
I reinstall it without php support (like the first time)...
But nothing!
Only this error:

Could not access 'gcov symbols... no'
Couldn't read the config file

but what was happen?
Google didn't help me... No one had report this error...
And i found 
that gcov is a tool for gcc (sorry i'm not a developer like
your)

i could not understand the situation... Something went
wrong... but 
what? WHAT?! W-H-A-T?!?

do you remember when i talked about nohup?

way sites-enabled #  ls -la /etc/cherokee/sites-enabled/
total 252
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    136 Jun  9 22:33 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root    368 Jun  8 22:30 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     26 Jun  8 22:30 default -> 
../sites-available/default
-rw------- 1 root root 257149 Jun  9 22:32 nohup.out
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     34 Jun  8 22:35 progettomio.net
-> 
../sites-available/progettomio.net

Inside the file:
(stripped)
checking whether to include gcov symbols... no
checking whether to include debugging symbols... no
checking layout of installed files... PHP
(stripped)


I'm too stupid. And a bit unlucky... :-D


Please, can you increase verboseness for next version?! 
something like:

Could not access 'gcov symbols... no'
Couldn't read the config file:
/etc/cherokee/sites-enabled/nohup.out

...might help me!


Regards,
Matteo Contri

  Heh.. I'm really glad to hear that! 

  We have some unfinished tasks on the Windows port.  Right
now, I can
  remember these ones:

    - Compilation, we are always late with the Win32 binary.
    - We have to check the max file descriptor number
functions.
    - The compilations works, but it could be better.
    - The are a couple of bugs logged against the Win32
version.

  There are many other possible improvements, however IMO
the first
  thing we should do is to release Win32 binaries often, and
probably
  write down a little document (blog entry) explaining how
to download
  and configure it.
