Hi,
I don't know if it is a problem but I also found out that the install
does
not create a cherokee user on freebsd and that cherokee is running as
root
default on freebsd...
Yes, I noticed that too. I also changed the user manually from the
admin interface.
I tried that too but cherokee won't start with a fresh created cherokee user
or the www user.
The error:
Could not access file descriptors: [3]
Probably you'll need to set proper permissions on log files and rrds
directory (if you installed cherokee with rrdtool functionality).
Also don't forget to chown to www:www the document_root. But yes, this
clearly needs to be improved in the port.
I'll try adding a config flag 'Run as www user' in the port's Makefile
so the configure script is run with --with-wwwuser=www
--with-wwwgroup=www before compiling.
Security wise it does not sound as a good idea to let it run as root ;)
(I know I can change it manually but it would be nice that the installer
installs the cherokee user and set the permissions right and then startup
as
cherokee user).
I think it would be easier to reuse the standard www user (already
registered in ports/UIDs and ports/GIDs,
instead of creating a 'cherokee:cherokee' user/group. Please note that
www:www user/group has nothing apache specific.
Reusing www:www may be a concern when running apache and cherokee in
the same installation, though.
Who needs Apache anyway? ;)
Nobody wants apache nowadays (although I really want the webdav
functionality ;) )
But changing the user from cherokee to www did not help..only root helps :(
