Hiawatha version: 6.17
Operating System: Ubuntu

I have Hiawatha running on 192.168.88.128
I have an external FastCGI application (C++) running on 192.168.0.193:1962
I have an entry in my hosts 192.168.88.128 www.app.com

Hiawatha is running. I get the congrads page.

What I want however is to type on my web browser: http://www.app.com and have it call through to the External C++ application. There is no extension and there is no local application to start.

My config is:

Binding {
	Port = 80
	Interface = 192.168.88.128
	MaxKeepAlive = 30
	TimeForRequest = 3,20
}

...

FastCGIserver {
	FastCGIid = QFastCGI
	ConnectTo = 192.168.0.193:1962
	Extension = *
	SessionTimeout = 30
}

...

Hostname = 192.168.88.128
WebsiteRoot = /var/www/hiawatha
StartFile = index.html
AccessLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/access.log
ErrorLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/error.log

...

VirtualHost {
	Hostname = www.app.com
	WebsiteRoot = /var/www/app
	AccessLogfile = /var/log/app/access.log
	ErrorLogfile = /var/log/app/error.log
	TimeForCGI = 5
	UseFastCGI = QFastCGI
}

What do have to change to make this work?

What you have to do is use the URL toolkit:

FastCGIserver {
	FastCGIid = QFastCGI
	ConnectTo = 192.168.0.193:1962
	SessionTimeout = 30
}

UrlToolkit {
	ToolkitID = app_toolkit
	RequestURI exists Return
	Match .* UseFastCGI QFastCGI
}

VirtualHost {
	Hostname = www.app.com
	WebsiteRoot = /var/www/app
	AccessLogfile = /var/log/app/access.log
	ErrorLogfile = /var/log/app/error.log
	TimeForCGI = 5
	UseToolkit = app_toolkit
}
