This only affects cherokee < 0.99.20.

If you're trying to use cherokees 'Advanced Virtual Hosting' and a 'File exists' rule it will not work. The rule is not matching any files. Without the AVHosting the rule is working well.

I already reported this bug and it's fixed in the latest svn version. So if you need to work with AVHosting and this rule you better checkout from svn and compile on your own instead of using any precompiled packages.

But I guess in further versions the bugfix will be included.
