Here is step by step howto: 1) Download Cherokee http://www.cherokee-project.com/download/
2) Untar and configure then make install : /home/v3ss$ tar -xzf cherokee-0.9.4.tar.gz /home/v3ss$ cd cherokee-0.9.4 /home/v3ss/cherokee-0.9.4$ ./confgure --enable-fcgi && make /home/v3ss/cherokee-0.9.4$ make install 3) Download Web2py latest source version. unzip and place under /var/web2py/ 4) start web2py once normally to auto extract default apps , then kill it. 5) start cherokee and chrokee-admin /home/v3ss$ su [EMAIL PROTECTED] cherokee & chrokee-admin & 6) By default chrokee admin only listens at local interface on port 9090. thats not a problem if you have full access and physical access on that machine . If thats not the case u can force it to bind to ip and port by : -b, --bind[=IP] and -p, --port=NUM or do a ssh port forward : ssh -L 9090:localhost:9090 remotehost (more secure , recommended) 7) firefox http://localhost:9090 8) If everything allrite you will get chrokee admin. 9) here comes the fun part , wirte a shell script named startweb2py.sh: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat > /var/web2py/startweb2py.sh #!/bin/bash cd /var/web2py python /var/web2py/fcgihandler.py & [PRESS ENTER] [PRESS CTRL +D] [EMAIL PROTECTED] chmod a+x /var/web2py/startweb2py.sh 10) run that script : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./var/web2py/startweb2py.sh This will start web2py under FastCGI handler. 11) Lets Put this to work , in chrokee-admin web interface , click info sources . Click *Info Sources* Choose Local Interpreter. Put Belows: Nick : web2py Connection : /tmp/fcgi.sock Interpereter: /var/web2py/startweb2py.sh Click *Add New* 12) Click Virtual Servers, Click Default 13) Click Behavior , Under there Click default 14) Select from the list box , Choose FastCGI instead of "List and Send" 15) At the bottom , Application Server as web2py (as we created before in Info Sources) 16) Check all the CheckBoxes (Can leave Allow-x-sendfile) , if there is warning displayed , disable and enable one of the check box (it will auto re-submit application server parameter , sometimes it dosn't and its a bug) Now Enjoy Web2py on Fastest of All Web Servers , Cherokee !!
