I say don't do it now, or ever.
Hosting companies provide one click installs for most popular web
apps, just like cherokee wizards.
Not exactly, I think, web apps version changes may require updated
scripts, so for each app update we would have to rewrite each wizard.
A much better venture would be looking how to port Cherokee admin into
something like cPanel or Plesk.
I see that also very interesting, but a different quest. I would love to
put Cherokee support inside of my Webmin. Also, not exactly the same but
another common request we've talked about in Cherokee Summit has been
"multi-user admin", that is, the capability of giving permissions to
different users on administrating or modifying different domains on a
Cherokee install.
Honestly, I hate the fact that hosting providers won't consider
another platform simply because some open source CMSs build
specifically for Apache and most use .htaccess in their architecture.
As you say, not "some" but "most". Linux moves a lot of hosting in the
shape of "LAMP hosting" in the world with some advantages and
disadvantages. Advantages are you know what to expect almost in a 99%
when you get a LAMP server around there. Disadvantages are you won't run
anything different from PHP on 99% of the cases.
If it wasn't for simpletons that want their .htaccess to be written
for them, then would this even be a discussion?
The "simpletons" you say pay a lot of our rents. Not everybody can be a
system wizard, so that's why the lawyer at my company is a lawyer and
not a sysadmin (and the other way I'm a sysadmin and not a lawyer).
That's the root of argument right there, it's not how or why to
provide .htaccess, it is how to provided the capability of .htaccess
not necessarily just to the users, but to the open source CMS they use.
Would you then retire the Apache log compatibility on Cherokee?
Something just for simpletons and log parsers that expect you having
Apache on your system.
After using Cherokee and cherokee-admin, I'm really not a fan of
htaccess or it's implementation.
I think there's got to be a better way, and when it's found, I say
don't look back... It's time ;)
Me neither, but it's there.
Have a nice day,
Andor
