I've been trying to find some decent tutorials on how to set up a recent release of Cherokee webserver on Ubuntu (or equivalent Linux distros) which outline how to setup the webserver, mysql, phpmyadmin and php.

Some already exist, such as http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-cherokee-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-ubuntu-10.04 however, I've found that the Cherokee version used in the tutorial is considerably out of date and the update process has been painful to say the least.

Thanks.

You have to add to your "/etc/apt/sources.list" if you use Ubuntu 10.04

#Cherokee Webserver
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cherokee-webserver/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/cherokee-webserver/ppa/ubuntu lucid main

Also you will have to add the following GPG

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EBA7BD49
sudo apt-get update

Then simply install the Cherokee normal with apt-get. Basically you will need the following packages: cherokee, mysql-server, mysql-client, php5-cgi, php5-mysql, the rest is installed as dependencies.

Before testing you should enable PHP to your vhost like the tutorial you mentioned shows.

  • All that is otherwise known as: `add-apt-repository ppa:cherokee-webserver/ppa` Though you need the `python-software-properties` package for that command. – Synchro Feb 03 '11 at 20:10
  • Synchro, you are right, but if the Ubuntu version is below 9.10, your solution does not work. – pincoded Feb 11 '11 at 19:02
