Do you have a file called hiawatha-7.5_amd64.deb? Because the error message says you don't.

You can post the error messages in Dutch if you like. I'm Dutch, so I won't have any problem reading it

Hoi Hugo,

I have solve the problem. Is is all about detail. I made a mistake in the name of the file. I had to place an underscore before the "7"in the file name.
But if i want to change to hiawatha directory....i use the minus sign! Weird isn't it?

After solving that problem i types hiawatha. Then i got the message: "error binding 0.0.0.0:80". After some search at the forum i found that this message could be caused by two problems. 1. apache might be listening also to gate 80. 2. hiawatha is already running. So i stopped apache and hiawatha.

And ik tried to start with the command hiawatha. Unfortunately i got the same error. I will open a new post, because it is a new problem.

Thanks for your quick response! You can close this topic.

Why is it weird that the filename has an underscore and the archive file a minus? It's just a name.

About the "error binding" message: make sure you start Hiawatha as root. Only root can start applications that want to bind ports with a number lower than 1024. And starting and stopping Hiawatha should be done via the /etc/init.d/hiawatha script.
