Hi,

So if you installed cherokee from its package, you may not encounter this bug.
Can you provide more informations on this bug, because as for now, it should
be closed.
I installed cherokee with apt-get from testing source and it serves my
homepage since more than 7 months. Recognising the installation problem
with mediawiki I tried to find out more about this on the cherokee
mailing list.
Here is the part from aptitude log,
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] apache-common
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] apache2-utils
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libapache-mod-php4
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libdbd-mysql-perl
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] mysql-client
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] mysql-server
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] php4
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] php4-mysql
[INSTALL] mediawiki
Answer to my question why that happend,
Quote
Most packages declare their dependency on 'apache | httpd', which
means Any web server (but Apache is the first on the list). Why?
Because that's what the maintainers have tested it against.
If you find a Web-based application which depends on Apache and cannot
be installed with any other Web server (and doesn't have a reason for
that - i.e., if it's a mod_perl application, it _is_ bound to Apache,
like it or not), please file a bug, as it should not depend on that
specific package.
Greetings,

I'm sorry to say that I cannot help further because I purged
mediawiki.deb and installed the beta version of mediawiki (no .deb)
to /var/www and found a solution to make it work with cherokee.
-
1.create a file (asuming DocumentRoot is where mediawiki has its main
tree, usually in debiansystems /usr/lib/mediawiki/)
##
## Virtual server for mediawiki
##
Directory /mediawiki {
Handler common
DocumentRoot /usr/lib/mediawiki/
}
2.copy that file to /etc/cherokee/sites-available/mediawiki
3.create a symlink from this directory to
/etc/cherokee/sites-enabled/mediawiki
4. chmod 640, chown www-data:www-data
5.restart cherokee

I hope that this will help a little

Answer to my question why that happend,
In fact dependencies for mediawiki are right.
The problem comes from the fact that there is no php4 package for cherokee in
debian.
Do you use the cherokee package from debian and can it use php4?
If so then one of the cherokee package should tell it, and php4's dependencies
should be corrected to include it
If not and php4 support in cherokee is more tricky/depends on an other piece
of software then it should be packaged.

DocumentRoot /usr/lib/mediawiki/
}
2.copy that file to /etc/cherokee/sites-available/mediawiki
Ok, this should be include as a cherokee.conf in next package.
I hope that this will help a little
It does :)
Thks!

The problem comes from the fact that there is no php4 package for cherokee in debian. Now I have the following php4 packages installed (but don't know wich are necessary to serve mediawiki and cherokee) php4-cgi (I guess this one is important for cherokee) php4-cli php4-common php4-mysql So you may not have install any apache stuff since all mediawikis dependencies can be installed without apache: mediawiki + php4 + php4-cgi + php4-common + php4-mysql + other non apache related ones.. Did the problem occured BEFORE you installed php4-cgi of after?

But all the stuff remained in /debian. Is there any reason for you to get get the debconf files outside /debian? Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising it, just wonder why... Any changes in the Debian policy? Best Regards Jens signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Dependencies on mediawiki installed unwanted apache* packages and cannot be removed without breaking mediawiki. Hi! As I can read on the package dependencies: Depends: apache2 | httpd This means that it depends either on apache2 or on a virtual httpd package. Then, on cherokee, I can read: Provides: httpd So if you installed cherokee from its package, you may not encounter this bug.

Also about this, you can uncheck all boxes on the multi choice dialog and then do the config yourself. Furthermore, if we use my multisite package later, questions and configuration for httpd will be up to the administrator. Romain -- Why do they fight against the poor youth of today?
