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
               listen 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
               communications. 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
