1. Updating Ubuntu Package Index
First, Login into Ubuntu Server and make sure your ubuntu server update, run the following commands one by one, and install any available updates:

The best part about using its Web Server is being able to manage all of its configurations through a simple to use web interface. This interface, known as cherokee-admin, is the recommended means of administering cherokee web server through web browser. Start cherokee-admin by running the following command:
sudo cherokee-admin
Note: The cherokee-admin will display the administration user name, One-time Password and administration web interface.
Note down your One-Time password. You will need this when you login to its admin web interface.
By default, cherokee-admin can only accessed from localhost. If you need to access the admin for other network address using the parameter ‘-b’. If you doesn’t mention any ip address, it will automatically listen to all network interfaces. Then you can connect to cherokee-admin from other network address.
sudo cherokee-admin -b
If you need to access its admin from specific network address
sudo cherokee-admin -b 192.168.1.102
5. Browse your Cherokee Admin Panel
Now you can access the administration panel from you favorite browser by typing http://hostname_or_IP:9090/ for me its http://127.0.0.1:9090/, it will appear on your browser like this:
Hurray, we have successfully installed and configured Cherokee Web Server in our Ubuntu Server.
