Cherokee includes a web admin interface for configuring the server. To get that running you need to start it up on your server and then use SSH tunnelling to view in a local browser. So on your server run the following to start the Cherokee Admin deamon:
cherokee-admin -b &Then on your local machine, setup the SSH tunnel as follows:
ssh-L 9090:localhost:9090 mysite.com -NNow, navigate to http://localhost:9090 and log in using the username and password shown in the output on your server console. You should be greeted with the Cherokee Admin home screen!

Previously, Abhijeet has highlighted three awesome sites where you can create your own social network easily. However, if you are one of those who wants more control of the site, including the branding, the domain name, the features, the design, the community rule, or even the database, the best way is to install and run a social networking software on your server.
While there are plenty of scripts (both free and paid) that you can use to run your own social network, there are only a few that are stable, good and easy to use.
For SATA drives, occasional transmission problems are expected even on otherwise pretty healthy systems. No need to worry about it too much unless the problem repeats itself a lot.
via What do these SATA errors mean / kernel 2.6.25.6 (DRDY ERR/ICRC ABRT) | Linux | Kernel.
This error occurred on the drive using the hot swap cage. I wonder if perhaps the circuitry on the cage is iffy. The circuit board on that cage is about the simplest board that can be designed — it just maps wires from one pin connector to another — that’s it.
Perhaps the centos install is OK after all. It’s intermittent which is bad. Looks like it might pay to use higher quality hot swap cages. Tomorrow I’ll try another brand and investigate this further. Here’s another pertinent point. I’m seeing this exact same error.

That’s your drive reporting that it saw transmission error on the wire.
if u are running shadowed passwords it might be theres no entry for this user. make a backup of /etc/shadow, delete /etc/shadow and convert /etc/passwd using pwconvert.same goes for /etc/groups.

I got this error when logging in as root into a system that I think was badly installed (by me). Anyway, this fixed that problem. I found it interesting that this came up #1 on the google search and it’s an entry dated May 2001.
Note: The linux command pwconv replaced pwconvert sometime during these last ten years.
Note2: Here’s a more modern (3 years old) explanation tmhat I found useful.
Note3: I still had to do a complete reinstall since a lot of things went haywire. I probably shouldn’t have been playing with hot swapping while the install was in progress.
Update:I don’t think the kernel likes this motherboard. Second install failed. Have to resort to compiling a kernel by hand. What started out as a simple hour long task will now take all night.

I got confused between two Centos VMs. I had thought one Centos VM that I have running DNS was Centos 5.4 and the new one was Centos 5.6. When I saw that they both used a 2.6.18.* kernel I got confused. Fedora Core is using 2.6.35 and greater. This led me to check the distro version upon which I didn’t get it out of uname -a or dmesg. Searching the intertubes and I got the above answer. Apparently the VM I thought was 5.4 is really 5.5.
It is interesting that Centos, which tracks RHEL, doesn’t make too many radical changes to the kernel.
Update: It should be noted that I wouldn’t have noticed the kernel versions had I not tried to compile and install my own kernel.

KVM is a type-2 hypervisor built into the Linux kernel as a module and will ship with any Linux distribution moving forward as no work is required for the Linux distributions to add KVM. Having a virtualization platform built-in to the Linux kernel will be valuable to many customers looking for virtualization within a Linux based infrastructure; however these customers will lose the flexibility to run a bare-metal hypervisor, configure the hypervisor independent of the host operating system, and provide machine level security as a guest can bring down the operating system on KVM. Xen, on the other hand is a type-1 hypervisor built independent of any operating system and is a complete separate layer from the operating system and hardware and is seen by the community and customers as an Infrastructure Virtualization Platform to build their solutions upon.
