Hello,

I just downloaded the lastest version of Hiawathat for WINDOWS 10 64bits. I followed the instructions of the INSTALL.txt file but when I try to execute :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Hiawatha>Hiawatha.bat

I get the following :

Press Ctrl-C to shutdown the Hiawatha webserver.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Hiawatha>

It instantly stops. I got the same problem as a Windows service...

I've tried to run the different lines of the bat file on their own and I got the same problem, it starts and stops suddendly.

I'm not sure what to do. I get no errors, empty log files, nothing ...

Sorry for the garbage message, but I got no option to preview the message before it's posted !

Anything in the error logfile? Do you run it as Administrator? Binding to port 80 or 443 requires special privileges under Linux, so probably also under Windows.

In order :

- Nothing in the log files (error et the 4 others).
- Yes I ran CMD as an admin
- No process already running on port 80 - 443

Maybe I can try rebooting ...

Thanks for your answer

et = and. French btw.

Tried rebooting, same problem. I had Apache launched at start so It couldn't bind to port 80 but after I stopped the Apache service, I still had the same problem : it just stops on its own. Nothing in any log files.

:) C'est bon. Cette fin the semaine, moi et ma femme allons visiter Paris.

What if you run the binary program\hiawatha.exe? Any error message?

C'est une très belle ville ! (small mistake : "the" should be "de" ).

Yea, I get an error message from a file that doesn't exist (LINUX)

 /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Hiawatha/config: No such file or directory 

But when I checked the options for the command line of the bat file, I noticed that there was the option to tell the exe to start with another config file (mine located in config/hiawatha). So I don't know !

That's what you get when trying to use multiple languages at the same time.

Anyway, what if you manually add those parameters? So, execute the following command:

program\hiawatha.exe -d -c config

Instead of just 'config', you might need to specify the full path to the config directory.

Haha, yea, but I'm not allowed to work on Linux yet. I wish I could have both like at home.

When I execute :

 hiawatha.exe -d -c config 

I get instant

Press Ctrl-C to shutdown the Hiawatha webserver.

I modified the line 10 in the conf file :

 set INSTALL_DIR = path\Hiawatha\ 

I even tried to put the directory in C:/ directly (to avoid spaces) and I tried

C:\Hiawatha\program>hiawatha.exe -d -c C:/Hiawatha/config  

But I get instant

Press Ctrl-C to shutdown the Hiawatha webserver.
C:\Hiawatha\program>  

Just to be sure, when connecting to http://localhost/, there is no Hiawatha-welcome page. Right?

I'm thinking real hard, but I've no idea what goes wrong here. I have the feeling that the cause is not somewhere in Hiawatha, but something on your system. I have no idea what...

Yea, there is nothing, no programs emits on port 80 or 443 anyways so no, Hiawatha-welcome page doesn't show up.

Maybe, but I tried several other web servers and they're all working fine, strange.

Thanks for your help / time !

Edit : It works ! ! !

C:\Hiawatha\program>hiawatha.exe -d -c C:/Hiawatha/config 

It runs and doesn't stop on its own.

Between my 2 tests I had to upgrade my build for W10 to the latest one and now it's working fine.

Magic of IT.

Sorry to have waste your time and thanks !

That's good news. I knew it had to be something else than Hiawatha. Happy webserving!

Thanks !

Passez un excellent week-end à Paris !
