Hiawatha version: 8.3.2
Operating System: puppylinux 4.12, perl 5.8.8, ruby

Hi,
as You can read on my other thread, I'm testing minimalistic wiki software (for personal use). I setup the original wiki from Ward Cunningham, it work's, but it is a bit outdated.

Now I setup instiki (ruby based) and it comes with a bit more features. It works/come with a own webserver, http://localhost:2500. My problem: howto to "see" this wiki on the web? it is working on the same ThinClient where guestbook and blog-system are installed. both can be reached over dyndns (almeida.dyndns-blog.org), over html-link.

ThinClient is working behind a modem-router, dyndns-adress is forwarded. Hm, howto setup/configure hiawatha.conf to "see" instwiki on the web?

ReverseProxy, Alias, ?? I try ReverseProxy, (so I need to update Hiawatha to 8.3.2 , >8.4 won't work because of GLIBC_2.7) but I can't (and I don't want to) add another web-dyndns-adress on port 80(80). Any ideas?

Thx
antonio

If your application only works with its own webserver, a reverse proxy is the only way.

Dear,
it was simple, but I've to adapt WebsiteRoot to /"published", a virtual directory.

VirtualHost {
Hostname = xxx.dyndns-server.com
WebsiteRoot = /root/httpd/hiawatha/wiki/published
ReverseProxy ^/.* http://192.aaa.bbb.ccc:2500/
}
