Hello,

I am thinking about using your web server on my server as apache is eating my memory and i hate it.

Some questions i would like to ask are

1) is it easy to run php with hiawatha?

2) is there away to make ruby work with hiawatha?

3) how good does hiawatha utilise its Memory and CPU usage?

4) is there away to install svn with hiawatha?

Also can it be installed on centos 5.4?

Did not work i done what i said on the HowTo this is the copy of the command

I went to localhost and nothing and there is no folder in the /etc

The answers to your questions:

1) I did my best. The online HOWTO should get you going.

2) Yes. Use this example [www.hiawatha-webserver.org] to use Ruby with FastCGI.

3) Very good. It uses far less than Apache.

4) I don't know SVN, but my guess is that Hiawatha does not support SVN.

Can Hiawatha be installed on CentOS? Yes

By default, Hiawatha will be installed in /usr/local/ Try looking there.

Does not seem to be in /usr/local/

The command i ran to install it was

cd /root
wget the url of the server files
tar -xzf hiawatha-6.18.tar.gz
cd hiawatha-6.18
./configure --disable-ssl
make
make install

the out put of all that is in my other post

Found it in /usr/local/etc

Its a folder called hiawatha it has all the config stuff but how to i start the server?

Run /usr/local/sbin/hiawatha

i get this message

warning: can't write PID file /usr/local/var/run/hiawatha.pid.

also you should add some of this info on how to start and stop to the docs and where things are installed.

Good point. Writing start/stop howto right now.

About the pid error. Did you start Hiawatha as root or as a normal user?

As root it started and worked but it does not show up in the top command.

Is there any message about Hiawatha in the syslog?

Please, try the following installation.

make uninstall
./configure CFLAGS="-O2 -g -Wall" --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --disable-ssl
make
make install

Now i can not start it says the file /usr/local/sbin/hiawatha is not there.

also before i ran them commands i tryed to install php i uncommanded the the CGIHANDELER for the cgi:php but when i went to a php page i get the error 403

also there was nothing in the syslog that i can see.

i am going to give it ago on a deb install as i got a filling its todo with centos

okay installed it on deb using the make make install command it installed it in the same spot as centos and it does the same thing

Read the HOWTO again, please. For Debian, use the following command:

apt-get install libc6-dev libssl-dev dpkg-dev debhelper fakeroot libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
./configure
make deb
cd ..
dpkg -i hiawatha-<version>.deb

Don't mean to offend you, but how experienced are you with Linux / Unix?

i am a linux n00b and i am not offend. i also know how you fill as i am a php coder and when helping people it can get that why.
