Hiawatha version: hiawatha 8.5 self compiled
Operating System: Linux 3.2.0-32-virtual #51-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 26 22:16:32 UTC 2012

Hello,

I didnt find a solution for that problem.
When I try to start hiawatha with /etc/init.d/hiawatha start this error message:
Starting webserver: Can't read file hiawatha.conf.
error!

The same error message with service hiawatha start, /usr/sbin/hiawatha and /usr/sbin/hiawatha -c /etc/hiawatha/.

The config has the default name hiawatha.conf and is located at /etc/hiawatha.

Are you trying this as 'root'?

I've try it as a normal user and as root. Everytime the same error message.

Are you using selinux or apparmor? What do you see when executing the following command?

strings /usr/sbin/hiawatha | grep etc

I have now made a configuration check.

$ /etc/init.d/hiawatha check

I don't think this is a Hiawatha issue. You have something on your system that is block access to hiawatha.conf for the Hiawatha binary. I have no idea what that is.
