Excuse me?? Oh, so you think that end-user support should be free isn't it that? > avoid being in this situation ? Shall I code my own web server so I avoid > being in this situation ? Which alternative works for the rest of you ?!? Be my guest. Most people collaborating with Cherokee have full-time jobs. Non of them get payed to code for Cherokee. If you want to change web servers, be my guest. Keep your Apache... oh and please, do install it from trunk and then request free end-user support. > I mean, it was a nice run with Cherokee while it lasted... until I upgraded > to the latest version and then "poof", up in smoke. That's what happens when you update from unstable. If you can't learn the difference, then open source isn't for you. Please, go and download IIS and wait for the next SP. > Why is this problem so > darned difficult for you guys ?!? Just write some Python code and get the > problem solved !

The one that doesn't gets it is you. Cherokee isn't fucking Windows. It's never been and most probably it will never be. Cherokee is a high performance web server. That means that it's user base is, by definition, highly technical and skilled. It will always be part of a very reduced group of people. Even though the Cherokee guys do everything in their hand to make it easy to use and install, it's, to some extend an experimental piece of software with very short development cycles... that has nothing to do with Apache nor Windows nor regular commercial applications. Your statement clearly indicates you have no clue about open source projects. It's easy to say: "Just write some Python code and get the problem solved !" but what you don't get is that here no one gets payed for it, priorities are full-time jobs, not fixing a marginal error, you should thank developers, not piss them off... You basically want to sit down and wait until this gets fixed without even attempting to aid developers into what might be the issue with your installation, that sir, is selfish. And get this, there isn't a fucking PREMIUM GOLD support team for Cherokee. Got it? So you either help the people that are trying to help you or you go and grab the next shinny open source project. > You all have done some wonderful work - you sold > me on Cherokee - now you are being asked to make your software usable and > doing so is too extreme for you ?!? Extreme? Yeah, it's extreme when you don't even attempt to help fixing the problem on an UNSTABLE piece of code... so again, not only you don't get open source, not only you're a lazy bastard, but you go on and piss everyone that's trying to help you... Good luck man. And after this rant, I'm pretty sure you won't be using Cherokee any more. kthxs. -- http://www.neurosecurity.com "We must be the change we wish to see in the world" Mahatma Gandhi _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee
