Thanks Alvaro Maybe, as Max suggested, I am going about this the wrong way. So, how about this question: if we _were_ to fund this development, how many people would use it? Are there any other shared hosting companies on this mailing list who would like to use Cherokee, but can't for this reason?

I can do that for my own server o apps, go to a 'redirection panel' on Cherokee and set up the redirection I need, but think about giving hosting service to dozens of clients that need to install and remove opensource apps that are designed to run "as is" with apache and mod_rewrite. Then tell them they have to learn a new way to redirect and rewrite urls, and have to read their .htaccess files for all their apps and remake them. Now think you are a hosting provider and have, hundreds, thousands, or hundred of thousands client. Nobody says that the Cherokee redirector is no good, but I, that I have been a hosting provider, know this problem. Your clients just want to put their software and run it, they don't want to learn a redirect framework just for starting a forum, a blog, a cms or whatever. mod_rewite compatibility is something that we've been talking about on the Cherokee Summit. This one of the main barriers for migration from Apache as almost every opensource webapp available around needs mod_rewrite for one thing or another, most usually for pretty urls or content management. Everybody expects a LAMP stack down in her hosting. Back in the days I did hosting, a plugin like this would allowed me to be totally Cherokee, and not only partially... I think is a great idea... _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee
