How to set up a blog in 5 minutes: Cherokee + Jaws

• Download Cherokee from http://www.0x50.org/download/, and install it:

  $ configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc && make
  # make install

• Download the last version of Jaws from: http://www.jaws-project.com, unpack it on your http document root directory (let's suppouse /var/www):

  cd /var/www
  chgrp -R www-data /var/www/jaws/html/{data,include}   
  chmod -R 775 /var/www/jaws/html/{data,include}

• Write down a small configuration file for Cherokee (Eg: /etc/cherokee/cherokee.jaws)

  Port 80
  DocumentRoot /var/www/jaws/html/
  
  Extension php {
      Handler phpcgi
  }
  
  Directory / {
      Handler file
  }
  
  Log combined {
      AccessLog /var/log/cherokee.access
      ErrorLog  /var/log/cherokee.error
  }

• Launch the server:

  # cherokee -b -C /etc/cherokee/cherokee.jaws

• And finally, configure Jaws through: http://localhost/install.php
  

Now your new blog is ready, enjoy! :-)
