Cherokee went to a web based config in version 0.6.1 instead of previous plain text files. It's fast-cgi module also has problems. So we're now using lighttpd.

argh.. curly brackets! haven't seen those for a while. http servers are only used for Mailman, Trac and static sites at Inigo. Most of the configs for lighttpd examples were brief snippets. So here's a more complete lighttpd.conf configuration with vhosts.

## minimum set of server modules you need here

server.modules              = (
                                "mod_rewrite",
                                "mod_alias",
                                "mod_access",
                                "mod_cgi",
                                "mod_ssi",
                               )
# named virtual hosts are contained within $HTTP["host"] {stuff
# here} 

#### vhost setup for mailman ####

$HTTP["host"] == "lists.foss.org.my" {

#the following line assigns as cgi everything in /mailman directory

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/mailman/" {
    cgi.assign = ( "" => "" )
    }

# rewrites hostname only to show listinfo page

url.rewrite = ( "^/$" => "/mailman/listinfo")

# url alias to the different physical directories

alias.url = ( "/mailman/" => "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/",
              "/pipermail/" => "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/" )
}


### a simpler static files entry ###

$HTTP["host"] == "planet.foss.org.my" {
server.document-root = "/mnt/jails/foss/usr/local/www/planet"
}
