Hi, I have installed Hiawatha and configured it for use with standard php pages but they don't render. Is there some other setting/file I have to configure other than the one stated.
I have amended the 2 lines for cgi as in the manual but can't find any entry as with apache for serving up php pages.

Tips welcome Thanks


Hiawatha version: 8.4
Operating System: Centos 6.3

What do the logfiles say?

I cant find the log files ! I.ve changed the line in hiawatha.conf Startt page index.php but still no joy

Correction ,found the log files in /var/log/hiawatha but they are all blank. Server works for standard html pages but not php

Check the access rights of the logfiles. They should have the same owner (user and group) as the running webserver process.

Checked they owned by Apache, should be change to what ? Thanks.

The same user and group id you use for Hiawatha. Take a look at the ServerId setting and its value in your configuration file.

# GENERAL SETTINGS
#
#ServerId = www-data
ConnectionsTotal = 150
ConnectionsPerIP = 10
SystemLogfile = /usr/local/var/log/hiawatha/system.log
GarbageLogfile = /usr/local/var/log/hiawatha/garbage.log

Above is what it is currently, obviously it should be something else

When I uncomment and assign 'localhost' to it I get an error, what is its value supposed to be ? thanks

If ServerId is not set, Hiawatha is probably running as user 'nobody'. No offense, but you seem to lack basic knowledge about how to run a daemon (which a webserver is). Please, read the documentation on this website. I have to problem with helping you out, but the the online documentation is there for a reason...

Just to clarify, server is working for html, its just not working with php. I only installed the bare minimum packages from the repo, being php, php-mysql and mysql. Perhaps I need more.

OK you are right, I will look it up further, Thanks (it is running as 'nobody')
