Hiawatha version: 9.11-1_amd64
Operating System: Debian

Hi Hugo,
Small error about MaxUploadSize usage.
I didn't use this in a VirtualHost part, but just in the generic part.

Regards,
René

hiawatha.conf:

78 : ChallengeClient = 200, httpheader, 60
79 : MaxUploadSize = 15
80 : HTTPAuthToCGI = yes

When I comment out line 79 with #, Hiawatha starts again

The MaxUploadSize should not be placed in a VirtualHost section, but in a Binding section. See the manual page.

I see. Now it works fine. Thanks.

I have 8 Binding sections. I think you can improve your configuration, by letting it inherit default settings. And in the specific Binding or VirtualHost Section, then you can overwrite your default settings. This should make it easier to read and configure.

But I have to look up what you introduced with variable settings.

Looking at your example https://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/howto/example_configuration

# BINDING SETTINGS
# A binding is where a client can connect to.
#
Binding {
    Port = 80
    MaxRequestSize = 128
    TimeForRequest = 3,20
}

Binding {
    Port = 443
    MaxRequestSize = 128
    TimeForRequest = 3,20
    SSLcertFile = hiawatha.pem
}

You specified MaxRequestSize and TimeForRequest twice with the same values.

# BINDING SETTINGS
# Defaults for each section
BindingDefaults {
    MaxRequestSize = 128
    TimeForRequest = 3,20
}
# A binding is where a client can connect to.
#
Binding {
    Port = 80
}

Binding {
    Port = 443
    SSLcertFile = hiawatha.pem
}
Binding {
    Port = 8080
    MaxRequestSize = 64
}
