what did i do wrong? why on earth cant i browse my 2nd virtual site?
and if i declare www.website.com,i cannot browse to it using http://website.com only, why is that?

Hostname = 127.0.0.1
WebsiteRoot = /var/www/blank
StartFile = index.html


VirtualHost {
        Hostname = www.bugzillaExample.com
        WebsiteRoot = /var/www/bugzilla222
        StartFile = index.cgi
        AccessLogfile = /var/www/kigwa/access.log
        ErrorLogfile = /var/www/kigwa/error.log
        ExecuteCGI = yes
}

VirtualHost {
        Hostname = www.website2.org
        WebsiteRoot = /var/www/rc2k
        StartFile = index.php
}

First of all, you have to make sure all the hostnames (www.website2.org, website.com, etc) resolve to the IP address of your webserver.

In the www.website2.org, you want to use PHP. You have to tell Hiawatha about how to handle PHP files. Use the CGIhandler option for that. You also have to use 'ExecuteCGI = yes' in the second virtual host, to tell Hiawatha to execute CGIs.

If you want to use an URL without www. just add the name to the Hostname option. You can also use a wildcard: *.website.com. Note that the first hostname you specify cannot contain a wildcard.

You configuration file should be like this:

Hostname = 127.0.0.1
WebsiteRoot = /var/www/blank
StartFile = index.html

CGIhandler = /usr/bin/php-cgi:php

VirtualHost {
        Hostname = www.bugzillaExample.com
        WebsiteRoot = /var/www/bugzilla222
        StartFile = index.cgi
        AccessLogfile = /var/www/kigwa/access.log
        ErrorLogfile = /var/www/kigwa/error.log
        ExecuteCGI = yes
}

VirtualHost {
        Hostname = www.website2.org, website2.org
        WebsiteRoot = /var/www/rc2k
        StartFile = index.php
        ExecuteCGI = yes
}

Make sure you have php-cgi installed. If php-cgi is not located in /usr/bin, adjust the CGIhandler setting.

Thank you your webserver rocks!!

Thanks, that's good to hear

If you got it all working, then you should take a look at how to configure Hiawatha to use PHP via FastCGI [projects.leisink.org]. FastCGI is 15 times faster then normal CGI, so it's worth trying. In Hiawatha, it's really easy to configure.

FastCGIserver {
        FastCGIid = PHP4
        ConnectTo = localhost:2005 <--what does this mean? 
        Extension = php, php4,php5
}

ConnectTo - should it be like that or should i replace it with the name of the virtual domain where i want the fastcgi to be active?

The answer can be found in the HOWTO [projects.leisink.org] page.
