Hi
I want to give the relative path in the httpd.conf, so that irrespective what the file structure is
i dont have to change the httpd.conf again and again.

i tried giving the following path:

VirtualHost {
	Hostname = 10.112.79.199
	WebsiteRoot = ../var/www/client
	StartFile = login.html
	AccessLogfile = ../var/www/log/access.log
	ErrorLogfile = ../var/www/log/error.log
	ExecuteCGI = yes
	TimeForCGI = 5
}

the path given is taking the Hiwatha binary as the start point

the file structure is

hiawatha _____ var/www/client
| |______ etc/hiawatha/httpd.conf
|_________ sbin/hiawatha


but the problem is it is not working .

can u help me??

Relative paths are not possible. But you can use the 'set' configfile option to make things easy.

set START_POINT = /some/directory

VirtualHost {
	Hostname = 10.112.79.199
	WebsiteRoot = START_POINT/var/www/client
	StartFile = login.html
	AccessLogfile = START_POINT/var/www/log/access.log
	ErrorLogfile = START_POINT/var/www/log/error.log
	ExecuteCGI = yes
	TimeForCGI = 5
}

Hiawatha does a simple search and replace with the variable name, so be carefull with what you use as the variable name.

Thanks boss.!!
