Requirements

Access

(ve) server IP adress(es)

You can do this within your own computer using a SSH tunnel or simply run the command and type your server's IP. It's very simple.

Notes: YOUR_VE_SERVER_IP is your server's IP. You can check yours in the VE:Server Guide inside your AccountCenter. It is listed in the DNS section.

  • Within your (ve) Server, launch Cherokee-Admin with the -b parameter in order to force it to listen to all the network interfaces: 
sudo cherokee-admin -b
  • You'll get something like this: 

Login:
User:              admin
One-time Password: YfIc2r97vC1i4vmF

Web Interface:
URL:               http://localhost:9090/

[23/04/2010 01:38:28.135] (error) rrd_tools.c:120 - Could not find the rrdtool binary.
Cherokee Web Server 0.99.44 (Mar 22 2010): Listening on port ALL:9090, TLS

  • We're almost done!
(ve) cherokee-admin running on Ubuntu 9.10
  • Now you type in your browser: 
http://YOUR_VE_SERVER_IP:9090

A prompt will ask you those credentials.

  • That's it. Remember to launch the server.

Now you can do whatever you want. When you are finished, press Control + C and Cherokee-Admin will shutdown.

Next time you login, another password will be generated for you.

  • Note: Always save the changes!

SSH tunnel

Just type: 

ssh -L 9090:localhost:9090 YOUR_VE_SERVER_IP
