NAME

       cherokee - Cherokee Web Server

SYNOPSIS

       cherokee [options]

DESCRIPTION

       cherokee is an extremely fast, flexible and embeddable web server.

OPTIONS

       This  command  will  launch  the  Cherokee  webserver.  It  accepts the
       following options:

       -h, --help
               Prints a brief help message and terminates execution

       -V, --version
               Prints Cherokee’s version and terminates execution

       -t, --test
               Perform a sanity check on the configuration  file.  The  server
               will not run.

       -d, --detach
               Launches  the server as a background process (default behaviour
               is to stay attached to the controlling terminal).

       -C, --config=PATH
               Specifies an alternative path for the configuration file to use
               instead of the default cherokee.conf

       -p, --port=PORT
               TCP port number to which the server will listen.

       -r, --documentroot=PATH
               Launches  a server exposing statically the specified directory.
               When launched with -r, the configuration file is  ignored,  and
               the Cherokee instance runs with its default values.

       -i, --print
               Print server technical information.

SIGNALS

       The following signals are supported by Cherokee:

       SIGHUP,  Restarts the server gracefully

       SIGUSR1, Restarts the server closing all the opened connections

       SIGUSR2, Reopens the log files

       SIGTERM, Exits

BUGS

   Bug reports
       I  would  appreciate hearing of any problems you have with Cherokee.  I
       would also like  to  hear  from  you  if  you  have  successfully  used
       Cherokee, especially if you are using it for a distribution.

       Report bugs to http://bugs.cherokee-project.com

       There  is  a  mailing  list for discussion among Cherokee users and for
       announcements of new and test versions. To  join,  send  a  message  to
       cherokee-admin@cherokee-project.com with the line:

       subscribe cherokee

       in   the   body   of   the   message.   The   submission   address   is
       cherokee@cherokee-project.com.

SEE ALSO

       Cherokee can be run either with  this  command  or  cherokee-worker(1).
       This last option is discouraged if you are not developing though.  Note
       that,  for  most   systems,   a   startup/shutdown   script   such   as
       /etc/init.d/cherokee   is  provided  and  will  probably  be  the  most
       convenient invocation method.
