Cherokee server
 

Is anybody running the cherokee server?

http://www.cherokee-project.com/

I wonder if that server is competitive in comparison to other servers?

And how difficult would it be to switch from a server running apache to another server, like cherokee or lighttp?

I've heard that the jury is still out on this one, mainly because of load testing. But I don't know anyone who actually runs it.

i wouldn't use it over nginx

Running apache for the php processing and lighttpd for images and streaming here.

The embedded stats look ok, but I don't find anyone running that software to stream lots of movies around.

Much easier then apache and nginx,i was running it few days,but then it failed and cpu usage went to 100 % so i dropped it since then.Nginx do the job.

Never bothered with it. Not stable enough and the support for the third party tools are more of a hack than RoR. It can go to hell until it sucks less.

Oh wow.. a http server that actually still crashes.... yikes.

How good can it be if its named after a fucking indian?

I find using lighttpd for flash ,streaming and phones very promising,
nginx i just love for most other things,
multiple apache installs I am a big fan of as well.


I would not use it, if you need more performance, drop me a line, I will assess your situation for free.

Lol and how do you think apache got it's name?
