I am having a bit of trouble with the Hiawatha server. Its probably something really obvious that I am just not noticing that's wrong with my config. Basically I am trying to set up a wordpress site but keep getting "500 - Internal Server Error"s.

It is only the wordpress pages, any other php file works fine

I will post config in a separate message,

Hiawatha version: Not sure, how can I check?
Operating System: MineOS

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

# Use a VirtualHost section to declare the websites you want to host.
#
#VirtualHost {
# Hostname = www.my-domain.com
# WebsiteRoot = /var/www/my-domain/public
# StartFile = index.php
# AccessLogfile = /var/www/my-domain/log/access.log

What does the error logfile say? Perhaps is Wordpress that's generating the 500 error. Try adding "TriggerOnCGI = no" to see what Wordpress says.

I'm running several WordPress blogs on Hiawatha, no problems at all. Make sure to use the right toolkit for SEO URL rewrites, e.g.:

UrlToolkit {
ToolkitID = wordpress
RequestURI exists Return
Match .* Rewrite /index.php
}
