Hi Hugo,

What is the correct way of telling Hiawatha to read .php as well as .html?
I tried

StartFile = index.php, index.html

but that doesn't work

Hiawatha version:
Operating System:

Hiawatha does not support that. You can change the StartFile as defined in hiawatha.conf via a .hiawatha file for a specific directory.

I am using like:

UrlToolkit {
	ToolkitID = findindexfile
	Match ^([^?]*)/(\?.*)?$ Rewrite $1/index.php$2 Continue
	RequestURI isfile Return
	Match ^([^?]*)/index\.php(\?.*)?$ Rewrite $1/index.html$2 Continue
	RequestURI isfile Return
	Match ^([^?]*)/index\.html(\?.*)?$ Rewrite $1/index.shtml$2 Continue
	RequestURI isfile Return
	Match ^([^?]*)/index\.shtml(\?.*)?$ Rewrite $1/index.htm$2 Continue
	RequestURI isfile Return
	Match ^([^?]*)/index\.htm(\?.*)?$ Rewrite $1/index.pl$2 Continue
	RequestURI isfile Return
	Match ^([^?]*)/index\.pl(\?.*)?$ Rewrite $1/index.py$2 Continue
	RequestURI isfile Return
	Match ^([^?]*)/index\.py(\?.*)?$ Rewrite $1/index.cgi$2 Continue
	RequestURI isfile Return
	Match ^([^?]*)/index\.cgi(\?.*)?$ Rewrite $1/index.rb$2 Continue
	RequestURI isfile Return
	Match ^([^?]*)/index\.rb(\?.*)?$ Rewrite $1/default.htm$2 Continue
	RequestURI isfile Return
	Match ^([^?]*)/default\.htm(\?.*)?$ Rewrite $1/Default.aspx$2 Continue
	RequestURI isfile Return
	Match ^([^?]*)/Default\.aspx(\?.*)?$ Rewrite $1/Default.asp$2 Continue
	RequestURI isfile Return
	Match ^([^?]*)/Default\.asp(\?.*)?$ Rewrite $1/$2 Continue
}

VirtualHost {
	...
	UseToolkit = findindexfile
	...
}

Hi Hugo,

I am always testing different web tools so I am wondering, can it be specified index file in an alias as below?

VirtualHost {
	Hostname = www.example.com, *.example.com
	WebsiteRoot = /usr/local/www/htdocs
	....
	StartFile = index.html
	Alias = /test1:/usr/local/www/tool_1	# index page is php 
	Alias = /test2:/usr/local/www/tool_2	# index page is html
	Alias = /test3:/usr/local/www/tool_3	# index page is php
	TimeForCGI = 10
	UseFastCGI = PHP5
	...
}

No, an alias works with directories. But you can use a .hiawatha file inside those directories.
