Problem installing Cherokee Web server!

Post by N8tiv » 2017/08/18 05:17:10

https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-insta ... -on-centos

This is just the last website I visited, on trying to learn how to get the Cherokee Web server installed onto my machine.

I have Cent0S 7 64-bit version, now…

Whenever I type this at the command line "dir"… This shows up!
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4D7Id ... sp=sharing

The zip file named "v1.2.103" is/was supposed to have the files to be able to compile and install "Cherokee Web server from Github"!
Immediately after downloading this zip file, I tried to unpack the file so I could compile and install…
I forgot with the error message was, but… "Nothing to do…" I remember seeing that.

The directory marked "Web server", I can only assume came from the directions of a different website…
I've tried at least 5 or 6 different websites/ways to try to get the Cherokee Web server installed, even from the Cherokee Web server website itself didn't work for some reason.

I'm so frustrated, I'd like to just start from the beginning with nothing but "CentOS 7 64-bit version"!

I'm coming from Windows, so I'm a big time Linux newbie…

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to reinstall CentOS 7 64-bit version & to working instructions on how to install the "Cherokee Web Server"?!

Thank you for your time,

Rob

You can use srpm from Fedora, link: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora ... 4/SRPMS/c/

Next use mock to make packages to CentOS,

How to use mock, here some information: https://blog.packagecloud.io/eng/2015/0 ... with-mock/

Did I mention I was/is a Linux Newbie? :-p
am I supposed to use that Fedora link with "mock"?

Is "mock" a package manager of some sort?

I'll definitely check it out, thanks for trying to help… Definitely appreciated!

Here are a few other screenshots I loaded to my Google drive, maybe there's something I'm just missing? Being a Linux n00b, wouldn't doubt I'm missing something… :-)

I really hope it's just something simple that I'm missing…

I think you first have to unzip it: unzip v1.2.103.zip
If unzip isn't installed: yum install unzip

Thanks for trying to help, I finally fingered it out… :-)

I finally found a website, I think it was something similar to "pkg dot com"… It might've been dot info, any who… The point is, I got it installed!

Now just reading the documentation, learning to get it configured…

I saw that zip file too! Apparently it unzips into that directory labeled webserver, it even has the same version number… I did a Google search on "running Cherokee shell scripts", that ultimately led me to that package website I mentioned up above… :-)
Go Figure!

How do I invoke "somefile.sh" at the command line?
I tried "yum install somefile.sh" and I think I even tried "run somefile.sh"… I forgot what the error messages were but, those didn't work.

Every little bit, helps… :-)
Pun intended

1.Call it by absolute path:

Code: Select all

bash -c /full/path/to/somefile.sh
2.Call it by relative path:

Code: Select all

bash -c ./somefile.sh
Note: Of course you don't need to call the 'bash' binary if the file has the executable bit (x).
