Cherokee is claimed to be the world's fastest web server software, and its performance is even better than nginx. Compared with other similar software such as Apache, Lighttpd, and nginx, let's take a look at this test page. I installed Cherokee on the local machine. After some usage, Cherokee gave me the feeling that it is easy to use and very good.
Cherokee supports FastCGI, scgi, PHP, CGI, TLS and SSL encrypted connections, virtual hosts, authorization authentication, real-time encoding, load balancing, and APACHE-compatible log files.
Cherokee contains a tool named Cherokee-Admin. After the tool is executed, the Administrator is allowed to directly access http: // localhost: 9090/in the browser to manage and configure it. For example, enable or disable the server, set general options, and configure virtual servers, information sources, icons, MIME types, and other items.
