Dear Hugo,

thank you for this clean and well documented software. Excellent!
I'm using Hiawatha with phpfpm on my embedded system to serve HTML content with PHP for a GUI. This works great.

Additionally, I want to serve RESTful HTTP requests on the same target, by using FastCGI with a C application, because of performance needs (PHP is no-go).
My intention is to access the GUI at e.g. 192.168.1.0/gui/ and the RESTful API at 192.168.1.0/api/ on the target.
Having an embedded system, I don't use virtual hosts. Here is an excerpt of my hiawatha.conf file:

Binding {
    Port = 80
    Interface = 0.0.0.0
}

FastCGIserver {
    FastCGIid = phpfpm
    ConnectTo = 127.0.0.1:9000
    Extension = php
}

UrlToolkit {
    Match ^/gui/.*\?(.*) Rewrite /gui/index.php?$1
    Match ^/gui/.* Rewrite /gui/index.php
    Match ^/.* Rewrite /index.html
}

Hostname = 127.0.0.1
WebsiteRoot = /usr/local/var/www/data
UseFastCGI = phpfpm

This works fine, even if the IP address of the interface is reconfigured manually or by DHCP.

But how to handle phpfpm / PHP and fastcgi / C application in parallel on the host, with the request URIs as mentioned before?

Any help is kindly appreciated.

Thanks,
Carsten

It must be something like the following config. Please note that I haven't tested it myself.

Binding {
    Port = 80
    Interface = 0.0.0.0
}

FastCGIserver {
    FastCGIid = phpfpm
    ConnectTo = 127.0.0.1:9000
    Extension = php
}

FastCGIserver {
    FastCGIid = apifcgi
    ConnectTo = 127.0.0.1:<API port>
}

UrlToolkit {
    ToolkitID = my_toolkit
    Match ^/gui/ UseFastCGI phpfpm
    Match ^/api/ UseFastCGI apifcgi
}

Directory {
  Path = /usr/local/var/www/data/gui
  StartFile = index.php
}

Hostname = 127.0.0.1
WebsiteRoot = /usr/local/var/www/data
UseToolkit = my_toolkit

Don't forget to fill in the API port in this configuration.

Thank you for your incredible fast reply Hugo. I give it a try, and leave a reply .
