Hi everyone, I set up a sub domain
in hiawatha on windows, which I succeeded in doing.
I am now trying to set up a sub domain using hiawatha on centOS7.

I have placed this in hiawatha.conf just as I did under windows.
Hiawatha seems fine with it and starts up without errors.
But when I go to test.site.com I end up getting redirected to a google search for the same.
Does anyone know why this is, I know I got the same before I edited my windows hosts file
and added 127.0.0.1 test.127.0.0.1 which resolved this under windows and hiawatha,
but I do not know what to edit under centOS to achieve the same.
As this time I am actually accessing the sub domain online,
I have a CNAME in my external DNS providers entry for test.site.com which according
to mxtoolbox is ok, when I type test.site.com in the DNS lookup it returns the record,
but shows it as an A record for the domain site.com, should I have created an a record instead of a CNAME.
Was I right in creating the A record, or can I achieve this like I did on windows, or do I need a combination of both.

VirtualHost {
    Hostname = test.site.com, *.test.site.com
    WebsiteRoot = /var/www/hiawatha/test
    StartFile = index.html
    AccessLogfile = /var/www/hiawatha/test/access.log
    ErrorLogfile = /var/www/hiawatha/test/error.log
    #TimeForCGI = 10
    #UseFastCGI = PHP5
    #UseToolkit = banshee
}

IS THIS A VALID VIRTUALHOST ENTRY, IF SO, what else do I need to alter to make this work.

Thank you kindly, john

IS THIS A VALID VIRTUAL HOST ENTRY.

Hiawatha does not redirect to Google or any other site, unless it has been told to do so via a configuration setting. Your issue is not Hiawatha related, but caused by something on your system. Since I don't know your system, I don't know what causes it.

Thank you for your assistance
I got my problems solved regarding the issue above.
I went on and installed a hiawatha on a vps, one without a domain name pointing to it
I keep getting the error Service unavailable 503
I can access the same site via apache, so am sure most things are correct.
I point hiawatha to the same site either via its default settings of add a virtual host entry
and I get the above error.
I configured php mariadb and hiawatha by following this tutorial and just can't get it to work.

If anyone sees anything wrong with the tutorial or has any ideas regarding the error and how to resolve it
I would be great full to hear from you.
