IMO, /etc/cherokee is the right place for cherokee.conf. In fact, I don't quite understand why you used the word "manually" in your description of the /etc directory. I might be wrong, but I bet that if people had proper configuration interfaces, there wouldn't be more people tweaking configuration files by hand than people writing their system maintenance scripts in Assembler :-) > Note that I won't perform said changes unilaterally on the Debian- > (and Ubuntu-) packaging...

I'd rather change the 'warning' notice of the configuration file to something slightly more descriptive, like ===== NOTE: This file is NOT meant to be edited by hand. Instead, a convenient configuration interface is available, so the server can be tweaked in a easy and safe way. Run cherokee-admin as root, and then use point your browser to http://localhost:9090/ ===== What do you think? -- Greetings, alo http://www.alobbs.com/ _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee
