After installing cherokee on my arch linux instance,

pacman -S python2 cherokee rrdtool

I continued on to do some configuration via cherokee admin:-

cherokee-admin -xb

Hoping over to my browser, I attempted to access my cherokee admin via its.ip.addr.ess:9090 and keyed in the corresponding admin and password. It accepts the password but after attempting to load the cherokee admin web ui for a while, it failed and showed me a 503 error

503 Service Unavailable

How should I go about debugging this?

Since I specified -x in my cherokee-admin command above, I do see some tracebacks like this:-

DEBUG: SIGUSR1 invokes the console..
       SIGUSR2 prints a backtrace..
Server 1.2.101 running.. PID=1035 Port=4000
DEBUG: SIGUSR1 invokes the console..
       SIGUSR2 prints a backtrace..
Server 1.2.101 running.. PID=1041 Port=4000
DEBUG: SIGUSR1 invokes the console..
       SIGUSR2 prints a backtrace..
Server 1.2.101 running.. PID=1047 Port=4000
DEBUG: SIGUSR1 invokes the console..
       SIGUSR2 prints a backtrace..
Server 1.2.101 running.. PID=1054 Port=4000
DEBUG: SIGUSR1 invokes the console..
       SIGUSR2 prints a backtrace..
Server 1.2.101 running.. PID=1060 Port=4000

But that doesn't really help me in my debugging efforts.

Any idea how I can go about solving this problem?

Found the problem.

The -t option is required to use a unix domain socket internally.

This is required if ipv6 is enabled for your box. Which is the case for this specific box of mine.

Mystery solved.
