When typing Hiawatha into the command line, I get

Error binding 0.0.0.0:80 any idea what this is?


And does hiawatha come with a manual or something?

I'm already in love with this webserver. I just need a little help.


Thanks

That means that the webserver can't open port 80 for incoming connections. This means that you are not root OR that another program is already listening at port 80.


Yes. I don't know how you installed it (tarball or .deb file) but in both ways, a manual page is installed. Just type 'man hiawatha' at your prompt


Sure, that's what this forum is for. I really appriciate if you can give me some feedback about what you like and specially don't like about Hiawatha. So I can further improve it.

Yeah I'm probably getting that error because I installed from both the tarball and the .deb.

I'm reformatting now just to get a clean install.

Yeah the manual is great, I only wish it came in a pdf so I could print it.

I'm sure that couldn't be the problem. The problem is very likely to be one of the two described in my previous post.


removing the package can be done by 'dpkg --purge hiawatha' for the .deb file and 'make deinstall' for the .tar.gz file.


A PDF can be created with 'man -t hiawatha | ps2pdf - > hiawatha.pdf'. I've already done that for you, so you can also download the manpage here: http://projects.leisink.org/hiawatha.pdf

Hmmm I did a clean install of Debian Etch, downloaded Hiawatha.deb and used dpkg -i hiawatha.deb to install. It said there were dependency errors, so I did apt-get -f install to correct the dependency errors.

It now installs hiawatha and the dependencie's. It says starting Hiawatha.

It goes back to the main prompt where I type in 'hiawatha' without the quotes.

error binding 0.0.0.0:80


Weird. I only installed the standard system with debian. No webserver nothing.

The only thing I installed since the system was reformatted was lynx. I used lynx to download the .deb file.

Btw thanks a ton for that pdf.

First of all, the hiawatha .deb files are made for Debian 3.1 Sarge. If you want a package for Etch, install some build-packages with

apt-get install libc6-dev libssl-dev dpkg-dev debmake fakeroot

After that, ownload the hiawatha-5.5.tar.gz file, unzip it, go to the created directory and type:

./configure
make deb

This will build a package. Go one directory back, there you'll find your Etch .deb file.


This looks like you've started Hiawatha en then try to start it again. This will fail of course, since 80 is already binded to the first instance of Hiawatha. Start a browser and use the IP of your Debian machine as the URL.


The .deb file installes a start/stop script in /etc/init.d Use '/etc/init.d/hiawatha start' to start the Hiawatha webserver and '/etc/init.d/hiawatha stop' to stop the webserver. Don't run the hiawatha executable directly, unless you know what you are doing.

Mind telling me what libararies are needed to compile this?

I've downloaded Gcc, and i'm still getting errors so I know that alone won't cut it.

Please tell me what errors you get. I need those to tell you what packages you must install.

It says "Newly created files are older than distributed files. Please check your system clock!"

But it has nothing to do with the system clock this happened to me before.

I had to apt-get install a library, and the error would go away. But I can't remember which library.

try the 'ntpdate' package

Nope still the same problem. It's really weird.

Hmmm, then I don' know. It's always hard to see what the problem is when I 'm not behind the computer. But this time issue shouldn't prevent you from building a .deb file, does it?

Yeah it does.

What i'm going to try and do is download the debian etch binary cd 1 & 2.

To see if it comes with all these libraries installed.

Because the debian etch netinst didn't.

Ok thanks for the help!

I can't compile it from the source, but the .deb works on etch just as well as sarge.

And the reason why I got the error: 0.0.0.0:80 binding error, was because hiawatha was already started.

Step 0 :

Install Ubuntu 9.04 Server and OpenSSH as usual. Make sure to perform the following.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Step 1 :

Download Hiawatha, the current version at this writing is 6.16, at http://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/download.

sudo wget http://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/files/hiawatha-6.16.tar.gz
tar -xzvf hiawatha-6.16.tar.gz
cd hiawatha-6.16

Configure and compile the Hiawatha.

sudo apt-get install build-essentail libc6-dev libssl-dev dpkg-dev debhelper fakeroot libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev

sudo ./configure
sudo make deb

The deb package will be created at /home/samiux. You can install it by :

sudo dpkg -i hiawatha_6.16_amd64.deb

or

sudo dpkg -i hiawatha_6.16_i386.deb
