Cherokee

Evolved Web Infrastructure Software - lightning fast and easy to configure open source web

Visit Cherokee

Cherokee is an open source web server written in C, intended for highly concurrent, secured web applications. It has no dependencies beyond a standard C library, and can be embedded and extended through plug-ins. Configuration is handled on the fly through Cherokee-Admin, a web interface for managing the server.

The server supports FastCGI, SCGI, PHP, uWSGI, SSI, CGI, LDAP, TLS/SSL, HTTP proxying, video streaming, content caching, and traffic shaping. It also provides virtual hosts, authentication, custom error management, and load balancing with several policies, including database balancing. Cherokee runs on Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and BSD.

Cherokee is aimed at developers and administrators who need a configurable, embeddable web server for concurrent applications. The project is distributed as open source software, with a downloadable release, documentation, and tutorials available from the project site.
