Here I am ;-)

Alo is right, Cherokee doesn't provides a good debugger for web
applications and this is understandable, adding a debugger to Cherokee
will make it a bit slower and we don't want that  ;-).

However not everything is lost. If you are a web developer you can use
some PHP debuggers/profilers. By default they work with Apache
(mod_php4) but they also support php-cgi (using fcgi, in Cherokee).

I'd suggest you to use:

xdebug: http://xdebug.org/
apd (Advanced PHP Debugger):http://apd.communityconnect.com/

BTW, here's a tip to debug PHP applications while using (f)CGI: You need
to add the -e flag to enable extra information for profilers/debuggers.
