NAME
       cherokee-admin - Runs Cherokee's administrative interface

SYNOPSIS
       cherokee-admin [-d DIR] [-p PORT] [-C FILE] [-b] [-x] [-u] [-t]

DESCRIPTION
       cherokee-admin runs the server for the administrative interface used to
       configure Cherokee. The interface itself will be available via your Web
       browser.

OPTIONS
       cherokee-admin accepts the following options:

       -h, --help
               Shows brief usage information

       -V, --version
               Show version and exit

       -x, --debug
               Print the backend errors to the terminal where it is executing.
               If omited, this debug information is lost.

       -u, --unsecure
               Allows accessing cherokee-admin's interface  without  requiring
               the  user to authenticate. This disables a security measure and
               is only meant to ease the development  process.  The  usage  of
               this parameter is strongly discouraged for regular users.

       -b, --bind[=IP]
               By  default cherokee-admin binds only to 127.0.0.1 (localhost),
               which means you can only connect to it from  the  same  system.
               With this parameter you can specify the network address to lis-
               ten to. If no IP is provided, it will bind to all interfaces.

       -d, --appdir=DIR
               Uses a custom admin-interface path where the  source  files  of
               cherokee-admin reside.

       -p, --port=NUM
               Specifies an alternative port. By default, 9090.

       -t, --internal-unix
               By  default,  cherokee-admin  uses  TCP for internal communica-
               tions. This parameter  specifies  that  a  Unix  domain  socket
               should be used instead. The default behavior is the safest one,
               so this parameter should rarely by used.

       -C, --target=PATH
               Requests  a  configuration  file  different  than  the  default
               /etc/cherokee/cherokee.conf to be used
