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
