Linux webserver du jour?
Tuxman:
I chose cherokee because I like playing with non-mainstream alternatives and it is probably the feature-richest lightweight webserver application available. I am not a Ruby dev at all, so all I can say is that cherokkee works fine. I tested lighttpd, too, but I was missing some features...
Never heard of Hiawata. Any URL?
f0dder:
http://www.hiawatha-webserver.org .
Tuxman:
Hmm, looks rather similar to Cherokee but is not so well documented...
f0dder:
I've been checking out Cherokee, and so far it seems pretty nice - it frustrated me for a while that it seemed to totally ignore vhost setup, until I found out I have to hit "save" in the toolbar - d'oh :-[. The admin interface is definitely pretty comfortable.
Can't figure out what I need to do to get a RoR setup going, though. I've tried following their cookbook, which seems extremely simple and easy to follow - but my rails version (3.0.3) doesn't have a 'scripts/server' script, which Cherokee expects. I've seen "rake rails:update:generate_dispatchers" mentioned somewhere, but rake doesn't know how to build that.
Dunno if I need to install some ruby appserver or something, but I'll do a bit more digging :)
Tuxman:
:) At least it seems to support it at all. 8)
Keep us informed.
