Runs Cherokee's administrative interface

NAME

cherokee-admin - Runs Cherokee's administrative interface

SYNOPSIS

cherokee-admin [-d DIR] [-p PORT] [-C FILE] [-b]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

cherokee-admin accepts the following options:

-h, --help

Shows brief usage information

-V, --version

Show version and exit

-x, --debug

Print the backend errors to the terminal where it is executing. If omited, this debug information is lost.

-b, --bind[=IP]

By default cherokee-admin binds only to 127.0.0.1 (localhost), which means you can only connect to it from the same system. With this parameter you can specify the network address to listen to. If no IP is provided, it will bind to all interfaces.

-C, --target=PATH

Requests a configuration file different than the default /etc/cherokee/cherokee.conf to be used

-d, --appdir=DIR

Uses a custom admin-interface path

-p, --port=NUM

Specifies an alternative port. By default, 9090.

-u, --unsecure

Allows accessing cherokee-admin's interface without requiring the user to authenticate. This disables a security measure and is only meant to ease the development process. The usage of this parameter is strongly discouraged for regular users.

SEE ALSO

This program is a part of the Cherokee web server, cherokee(1)
