has there been any movement on this issue?

I've ALWAYS gotten this message when starting cherokee on FreeBSD
(warning) Couldn't initialize spawn mechanism.

I'm thinking about rewrite the SHM support of Cherokee. It currently uses a
very
small shared memory area. It could be implemented in a temporary file in
order to
avoid all these compatibility issues.

At the end of the day, there are even systems - like Solaris, that create
files in
/tmp when a shm_*() function is invoked. Besides, speaking of performance,
it'd make
such a big difference.

I get this problem on Linux too, which as far as I know has no unusual
limits on SHM
size. This is making cherokee unusable for me (and others whom I've seen
reporting
the same issue). I see it's been around half a year since this was
reported. If
someone could identify the problem clearly, it might be easier for others
to chip in ;)

Your SHM is most likely not mounted. But even then, what is the problem ;)
Your server
runs :)

If the SHM system gets replaced, why not just merge the bugs.

Since people have mentioned this error and FreeBSD I can almost guarantee
you this has to do with running Cherokee in jails. Shared memory is
disabled in jails.

This can be changed by:

sysctl security.jail.sysvipc_allowed=1

But per the FreeBSD handbook
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/arch-handbook/jail-restrictions.html)
it defeats the purpose of having a jail because privileged users from the
jail would be able to affect processes outside the jailed environment with
this enabled. So enable at your own risk.

Comment #10 on issue 617 by ste...@sofa-rockers.org: Freebsd 8RC1 port
error- Couldn't initialize spawn mechanism.
http://code.google.com/p/cherokee/issues/detail?id=617

I have the same problem on a virtual Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid machine.

�Linux-VServer <http://linux-vserver.org/>� with a Vanilla Kernel and just
the LV patchset is used for the virtualization. The kernel version is
2.6.33.2-vs2.3.0.36.30.4-netcup.

The problem occurs with Ubuntu�s default Cherokee 0.99.39 and with the 1.x
versions from the Lauchnpad PPA as well.

I�ve also tested it in a VirtualBox VM with Lucid ��everything works fine
there.

Yes, was not mounted. Had to ask my hosting provider to enable it. Now it
works. :)

I just experienced this issue with a Centos 5.6 template running on OpenVZ.
The OS template did not include /dev/shm. Fixed with # mkdir -m 1777
/dev/shm.
