Here's a script to install Cherokee. The problem with Cherokee is that while it has a very nice admin front-end, it's not set up well for automating install and config. The approach I use here is to append a snippet of configs to the cherokee.conf file. It seems to work fine.
+ Tested on Ubuntu 10.04 (Rackspace Cloud) + Cherokee (from ppa; currently 1.2.2) + SSL (self-signed) + uWSGI 0.9.7.1 + Postgres 8.4 + Web2py Current + user=www-data + Hosted at BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/pbreit/web2py-automation/src/ $ wget http://bitbucket.org/pbreit/web2py-automation/raw/tip/setup-cherokee-nginx.sh<http://bitbucket.org/pbreit/web2py-automation/raw/tip/setup-ubuntu-nginx.sh> $ chmod +x setup-ubuntu-cherokee.sh $ sudo ./setup-ubuntu-cherokee.sh Note: the script runs almsot unattended. The only user input required is specifying web2py admin password.
