Cherokee web server vs Apache httpd web server | Craig Strong.

Although I was impressed so far, the remaining challenge that Cherokee must live up to for me is it’s speed advantages. In the spirit of keeping things simple and to get a loose overview on performance advantages I thought I’d simply use ‘Zend Controller’ which is bundled with ‘Zend Server CE‘ to test how many requests per second both Apache and Cherokee could handle in turn upon my humble local virtual machine. From these tests I obtained the following results :

Moving from Apache to Cherokee Web Server

Posted on by

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:

1
cherokee-admin -b &

Then on your local machine, setup the SSH tunnel as follows:

1
ssh-L 9090:localhost:9090 mysite.com -N

Now, 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!

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.

The architecture of the server cluster is fully transparent to end users, and the users interact as if it were a single high-performance virtual server. For more information, click here.
