SYNOPSIS

9       cherokee-admin [-d<DIR>] [-p<PORT>] [-C<FILE>] [-b] [-x] [-u] [-t]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       cherokee-admin runs the server for the administrative interface used to
13       configure Cherokee. The interface itself will be available via your Web
14       browser.
15

OPTIONS

17       cherokee-admin accepts the following options:
18
19       -h, --help
20               Shows brief usage information
21
22       -V, --version
23               Show version and exit
24
25       -x, --debug
26               Print the backend errors to the terminal where it is executing.
27               If omited, this debug information is lost.
28
29       -u, --unsecure
30               Allows accessing cherokee-admin's interface  without  requiring
31               the  user to authenticate. This disables a security measure and
32               is only meant to ease the development  process.  The  usage  of
33               this parameter is strongly discouraged for regular users.
34
35       -b[<IP>], --bind[=<IP>]
36               By  default cherokee-admin binds only to 127.0.0.1 (localhost),
37               which means you can only connect to it from  the  same  system.
38               With this parameter you can specify the network address to lis‐
39               ten to. If no IP is provided, it will bind to all interfaces.
40
41       -d<DIR>, --appdir=<DIR>
42               Uses a custom admin-interface path where the  source  files  of
43               cherokee-admin reside.
44
45       -p<NUM>, --port=<NUM>
46               Specifies an alternative port. By default, 9090.
47
48       -t, --internal-unix
49               By  default,  cherokee-admin  uses  TCP for internal communica‐
50               tions. This parameter  specifies  that  a  Unix  domain  socket
51               should be used instead. The default behavior is the safest one,
52               so this parameter should rarely by used.
53
54       -T<NUM>, --thread=<NUM>
55               Specify the number of threads that the program should use. Use‐
56               ful for memory/power constrained machines.
57
58       -C<PATH>, --target=PATH
59               Requests  a  configuration  file  different  than  the  default
60               /etc/cherokee/cherokee.conf to be used
61
