+A user friendly interface called cherokee-admin is provided for a
+no-hassle configuration of the server.
+
+If you are installing a high load http server, you will probably need
+a zero-downtime process of log rotation. To achieve this, I strongly
+recommend you to take a look to this cookbook:
+ * http://www.cherokee-project.com/doc/cookbook_managing_logs.html
+
+If need to get popular web applications working or fine tune your
+server, follow the cherokee's cookbooks page:

+Notes about using this SlackBuild
+---------------------------------
+
+1) To specify the WWW root directory pass WWWROOT=/path/to/www/root
+ to the script, like this:
+
+ WWWROOT=/var/www ./cherokee.SlackBuild
+
+2) If you want to enable IPv6 support, pass IPV6=yes to the script.
+3) If you want to disable the Cherokee-admin installation, pass
+ ADMIN=no to the script.
+4) This script builds Cherokee with support for MySQL client library
+ by default. If you want to avoid the dependency on MySQL client
+ library, or just build Cherokee without this support, pass MYSQL=no
+ to the script.
+5) If you want to build Cherokee with debugging options, enable trace
+ facility by passing TRACE=yes to the script.
