Hi all, Someone may want to document the installation procedure for pre-requisition prior to installing cherokee web server in www.cherokee-project.com web site.
Here's the good tip (nginx) from that web site to be used for writing the pre-requisition (such as installing mysql, libraries, php modules, etc.): http://howtoforge.org/installing-nginx-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-fedora-10-p2 I know Cherokee is bit different from nginx. The main thing that sets Cherokee apart from nginux is the excellent support for cgi-bin (I write my own C executable scripts), as well as better documentation. Let's make Cherokee to be better than nginx.

I have one need though that I could not directly find in the documention. Being able to authenticate users given the url they try to access, dynamically. With this I mean that for instance I'd like to match the first directory in a url and match that to a user group in ldap, e.g. http://example.com/myproject/ would be authenticated against ldap users in the group myproject. Is this possible with cherokee? And if not, maybe there is another way to do this without configuring every single directory? -- Jesse van den Kieboom Personal: http://www.icecrew.nl Professional: http://www.novowork.com ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2009 09:37:24 +0100 From: Alvaro Lopez Ortega <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Cherokee] 'Dynamic' url based authentication To: Jesse van den Kieboom <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes On 28-ene-09, at 08:57, Jesse van den Kieboom wrote: > I'm exploring the possibilities of a replacement for apache, and > cherokee seems a very attractive sollution.

Actually, a variable substitution mechanism has been a frequent request, so I think we will add it the upcoming release (or the one after). Do you have a more detailed example about what you'd need it to do? I'd like to be sure that the implementation fits the needs of the people who has requested it. -- Octality http://www.octality.com/ ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2009 09:47:26 +0100 From: Jesse van den Kieboom <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Cherokee] 'Dynamic' url based authentication To: Alvaro Lopez Ortega <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Message-ID: <1233132446.27250.9.ca...@wren> Content-Type: text/plain Op woensdag 28-01-2009 om 09:37 uur [tijdzone +0100], schreef Alvaro Lopez Ortega: > On 28-ene-09, at 08:57, Jesse van den Kieboom wrote: > > > I'm exploring the possibilities of a replacement for apache, and > > cherokee seems a very attractive sollution.

What I would like to use it for is managing remote git repositories including authentication in an easy way, using ldap to authenticate users. So, my layout could be: http://example.com/git -> /var/www/git with /var/www/git including any number of repos.git directories. I'd like to map something like http://example.com/git/([^/]+).git to authentication based on users in the group $1. Being able to substitute regular expression groups from a Regular Expression rule in certain fields would do the trick I think (although I'm not sure the ldap authentication module is flexible enough to allow this, e.g. is the Users field mandatory, because I'd like to match users based on a custom filter with the regex group substituted). > -- > Octality > http://www.octality.com/ > -- Jesse van den Kieboom Personal: http://www.icecrew.nl Professional: http://www.novowork.com ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee End of Cherokee Digest, Vol 7, Issue 34 ***************************************
