Hi all,

I've just installed Hiawatha and got it up and running with PHP5 for the main site, but the virtual host is having problems with php. When I try to access a virtual hosts .php file I get a Error 503 respond. If I try with a index.html it works just fine. The error logs are empty.

Here's my hiawatha.conf:

A 503 error means that Hiawatha can't connect to your PHP FastCGI daemon. Make sure it runs and is configured correctly.

The default website is working without any problems and serves php files.

Sure, but that one doesn't use FastCGI.
