Hi, I'm having some problems figuring out how to get cherokee installed on antix. If I fire up the package manager and select cherokee, I get...
cherokee:

Package cherokee has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list
Reading the install advice on the cherokee site, is it ok if I try...
The APT suite can handle more than one set of packages with different priorities. If you want to get the latest Cherokee off unstable, you can make your /etc/apt/sources.list be:

deb
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://ftp.debian.org/debian/"
linktext was:"http://ftp.debian.org/debian/"
====================================
lenny main
deb-src
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://ftp.debian.org/debian/"
linktext was:"http://ftp.debian.org/debian/"
====================================
lenny main

deb
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://ftp.debian.org/debian/"
linktext was:"http://ftp.debian.org/debian/"
====================================
sid main
deb-src
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://ftp.debian.org/debian/"
linktext was:"http://ftp.debian.org/debian/"
====================================
sid main

And set your preferences to lenny in /etc/apt/preferences:

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-priority: 200

Just make the pin-priority lower. Then, aptitude update to get the full lists, and install Cherokee from unstable:

# aptitude -t testing install cherokee
Is this method compatible with antix?

Thanks.

Post your /etc/apt/sources.list

inxi -r

cherokee is in squeeze and sid. I would try to install firstly fron squeeze, and if that doesn't work, enable sid/unstable repo, install cherokee and then comment out the sid/unstable repo again. No need to edit /etc/apt/preferences:

Here you go...

Code: Select all

root@xp:/etc/apt# inxi -r
Repos: Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list
           deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
           deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
           deb http://liquorix.net/debian/ sid main
           deb http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/liquorix.net/debian sid main
           Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-talkplugin.list
           deb http://dl.google.com/linux/talkplugin/deb/ stable main
I'll try like you saidand let you know if there are any problems. Thanks for the help __{{emoticon}}__

edit:
I got version 1.0.8-5 installed (latest is version 1.2 I think).
Started cherokee-admin and it seems to work apart from this error...
[17/01/2012 19:07:51.168] (error) rrd_tools.c:120 - Could not find the rrdtool binary.
I'll google for that though and see if ti's a big deal or not __{{emoticon}}__
