Hi,

 

I have downloaded Cherokee and cross-compiled it for a mips-based
embedded system running a stripped-down linux. It is running on that
system, but php is not enabled (the default page is served fine). I
thought enabling php would be an easy step. 

Well, first, running the Cherokee admin server.... I gave up on that
after trying to get python to run on my embedded system for a few hours.
I have no idea how this is intended to work... clearly requiring python
on an embedded system isn't reasonable. I tried to do it in a temp way
with nfs mounts on a development system... but just couldn't get there.

So I decided to go the manual conf route. 

First step... the php on the target system does not have fastcgi
support.

Ok, download the latest php... wow, wow, wow.  Embedded and php really
aren't good in the same sentence. Disabling things like XML support...
well, not easy (seems like an error in the configure script).

 

Anyway, I'm going through the process of nixing things like XML,
simplXML, PEAR... and thought I'd just check in with others to see if
I'm just trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. I guess the real
question is: even though Cherokee may be suitable for an embedded
system, is PHP not?!

 

Thanks in advance for any guidance!!

 

Jeremy
