Hiawatha version: 7.8.2
Operating System: FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE

I read through the forums and haven't seen this topic, so if it has been discussed then forgive me.

Currently I am using Pound and Apache and it works, but I have been looking for alternatives to Apache and would like to use Hiawatha. I have 3 sites right now and one of them is commercial and will need to run SSL in the future so I am front-ending it with Pound. However, I must have something incorrectly configured because I always get a service unavailable using a Pound-Hiawatha setup.

Here are my config files:
Control "/var/run/pound"
User "www"
Group "www"

ListenHTTP
Address 192.168.1.104
Port 80
xHTTP 0
LogLevel 2
End

Service
HeadRequire "Host:*.mydomain1.com.*"
BackEnd
Address 192.168.1.101
Port 8080
End
End

Service
HeadRequire "Host:*.mydomain2.net.*"
BackEnd
Address 192.168.1.102
Port 8080
End
End

Here is my hiawatha.conf (ssl is not enabled yet)
# Hiawatha main configuration file

# DEFAULT WEBSITE
# It is wise to use your IP address as the hostname of the default website

# VIRTUAL HOSTS
# Use a VirtualHost section to declare the websites you want to host.
#
VirtualHost {
Hostname = www.mydomain1.com
WebsiteRoot = /var/www/domains/www.mydomain1.com/htdocs
RequiredBinding = BIND1
StartFile = index.html
AccessLogfile = /var/www/domains/www.mydomain1.com/logs/access.log

VirtualHost {

StartFile = index.html
AccessLogfile = /var/www/domains/www.mydomain2.net/logs/access.log
ErrorLogfile = /var/www/domains/www.mydomain2.net/logs/error.log
}

I have tried with/without HideProxy and the results are the same. "The service is not available. Please try again later." In the VirtualHost section I have used both a domain name and the internal IP (e.g., 192.168.1.101).

Thanks in advance for your help.

I also meant to include some netstat output:
tcp4 0 0 192.168.1.102.8080 *.* LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 192.168.1.101.8080 *.* LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 192.168.1.103.http *.* LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 192.168.1.104.http *.* LISTEN

This morning I also installed the latest version with the same results.

Not that you care since you never answered, but I was never able to get Pound to work, but Nginx works as a reverse proxy to Hiawatha.

Instead of being insulted, you also could have send me a reminder. I simply forgot this post. I'm only human...

Interesting news for you: the next version of Hiawatha will have reverse proxy functionality.

My apologies for my insincerity. I failed to realize that you are a busy man with other responsibilities and priorities.

The release of the new version of Hiawatha with reverse proxy functionality is certainly of interest to me and I will definitely be downloading and trying it.

Again, please accept my sincerest apology for my rude behavior. And let me use this opportunity to also thank you for your quality software.

Regards,
Gary

It's ok. Let me know if you still have any trouble to get Hiawatha up and running.
