hi all:
i use hiawatha as a webserver and php write web page, i change all the php.ini parameters to allow user upload a big file (about 10M), but at last failed.
does hiawatha support user upload big file?
my hiawatha httpd.conf is:

# Hiawatha main configuration file
#
# GENERAL SETTINGS
#
ServerId = 33:33
ConnectionsTotal = 100
ConnectionsPerIP = 10
SystemLogfile = /usr/local/var/log/hiawatha/system.log

# BINDING SETTINGS

ServerKey = /usr/local/etc/hiawatha/webui_serverkey.pem
UseSSL = yes
}
#
# COMMON GATEWAY INTERFACE (CGI) SETTINGS

CGIhandler = /usr/local/bin/php-cgi:php5

# DEFAULT WEBSITE
#
Hostname = 127.0.0.1
WebsiteRoot = /usr/local/var/www/hiawatha
StartFile = index.html
ExecuteCGI = yes
AccessLogfile = /usr/local/var/log/hiawatha/access.log
ErrorLogfile = /usr/local/var/log/hiawatha/error.log

# VIRTUAL HOSTS

#
VirtualHost {
Hostname =  10.155.20.74
WebsiteRoot = /usr/local/var/www/hiawatha/webui
StartFile = index.php5
ExecuteCGI = yes
}

how to change it? please give me some suggestions. thanks! very thanks!!

Look in the manualpage for the MaxRequestSize option:

Binding {
    Port = 80
    MaxRequestSize = 10240
    ...
}

thanks for your reply
1> how to find the manualpage in your webside
2> please give a link. thanks

The manualpage is not online (will take care of that soon). After you've installed Hiawatha, use 'man hiawatha' on the commandline.

hi:
i type 'man hiawatha', it is a wrong command, i don't know how to get the information about other parameters.
i also have a problem, WebUI read a big file(about 20K) in browser, i have add MaxRequestSize in my httpd.conf. but it is maybe some wrong for hiawatha to sendback the file content to PHP page.
how to resolve it ?

I've created a PDF of the manual page. It can be found via http://projects.leisink.org/hiawatha.pdf.

About your other problem: can you be more specific. I don't understand your problem. Can you tell me what the errorlogfile tells you?

thanks for your link.

sorry for my unclearly descriptions!
my meaning is:
my PHP web page need read a big file from web server, i don't know hiawatha has a limition for reading a big file (20K) or not.
if has, how to change it?

It's the PHP program that is reading the file, not Hiawatha. Hiawatha does not limit the memory size of a CGI program (which a PHP program is), but it does limit the run time of a CGI program. The default amount of time a CGI program is allowed to run is 5 seconds. If the reading and processing of this file takes more than 5 seconds, Hiawatha kills the CGI program. You can increase the amount of run time for a CGI program via TimeForCGI. Does this solve your problem? If not, can you tell me what error messages do you see on your screen and in your logfiles?

hi:
i have set the TimeForCGI timer to 90 seconds, but it also failed, i check the hiawatha error log file, the error information is:
invalid status code received from CGI

can you give me some suggestions ?

thanks!

A CGI program can print a status header line. This line should have the following format:

Status: <HTTP error code>[ <HTTP error message>]CRLF

If seems that your CGI script is also printing a status header line, but not in a valid format. Hiawatha only needs the HTTP error code (codes like, 301, 404, 500, etc), but in your case it doesn't seems to be a number. So, you should debug your CGI program and look for this Status header line.
