Hi there,

   I'm preparing an small ARM9 based embedded demo with cherokee for one of
my clients at  http://www.cabimer.es/web/es/ that's
building a distributed system to handle warnings & alarms for all their
scientific machines.

   They won't have web interface at the start, but I think that at some
point they can find it interesting, I also know that
some of their developers (that will build the application code for the alarm
system) have php programming knowledge,
so I want to plant the seed in hope that they'll finally use cherokee. I
also will "plant" this as a default configuration for
our NB31xx modules (http://projects.nbee.es/display/NB31/NB31xx+Home)
cherokee package :-)

   For that, I have 2 issues to solve:

1)       Handle php queries (at this moment I have php-cli compiled, with no
fcgi support as it's not compiling in my ARM toolchain
for some unknown reason... and sadly couldn't spend some more time on this
right now), so I thought of using the standard
cherokee CGI handler + script_alias.

         a) what does script_alias exactly, call the script_alias executable
with the script path as command line? , If it's that, I think
that the command line is being omited for some reason (at least is that what
my PS shows..., and php-cli waits forever)

         b) there is some way to force the "Content-type" header or other
headers before cgi output?

         c) as a b-plan I thought of making an small wrapper to call
/etc/bin/php pass the parameters as needed , and output the standard headers
             as needed.

         d) May be there are better ways for what I'm trying to do...
probably I'm reinventing the wheel as I'm new to linux embedded web.

2)      Minimize memory usage: what's recommended for that? switching off io
cache... reducing threads, switching off plugins... are the plugins loaded
on demand or should I switch them off at compilation time?



 Thanks for reading!! :)
