Hiawatha version: 8.1
Operating System: Linux Ubuntu

Is there an equivalent to the Apache directive:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.php index.ht

yes, it is called

ShowIndex = yes

check here: http://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/manpages

sorry! this is for showing index when no index file is defined.

the most similar parameter to the one you request is:

StartFile =

for example: StartFile = index.php

as far as I know, there is no way to include several indexes, but you can define one startfile per virtualhost

@Epe
Yeah! I knew about the "StartFile" parameter! I was hoping that Hiawatha could be told to accept various extensions to an "index" file. Oh well..... ! Thanks for the input.

Hiawatha does not support multiple start files to be defined. If you want a different start file for a certain directory, place a StartFile option in a .hiawatha file in that directory. As described in the F.A.Q.

OK! thanks ... I read the F.A.Q.

From the F.A.Q:

Can I specify multiple startfiles for a virtual host?

No. If you want to use a different startfile for a directory, use the StartFile option in a .hiawatha file in that directory.

How does Hiawatha know which directory the .hiawatha file(s) live?? Does Hiawatha check all "directories" under "DocumentRoot"?

No, only when a file is requested, it searches for the .hiawatha file. It is better to use the Directory{} setting in hiawatha.conf.
