Hiawatha

useful addresses
http://192.168.0.1/ (your router)
http://192.168.0.2/ (computer 1)
http://192.168.0.5/ (computer 2)
these numbers vary depending on how they are connected to the router

Setup Linux-Firewall Wizard and enable Http Web Server using the custom option

Run Hiawatha by typing hiawatha at the conole
To stop the server, type in killall hiawatha
In /root/Web-Server the file index.html can be a test web page
hiawatha -k = config file check

The file
/etc/hiawatha/hiawatha.conf

should have something like so:

insert-source-code-here
ServerId = webuser
ConnectionsTotal = 150
ConnectionsPerIP = 10
SystemLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/system.log
GarbageLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/garbage.log

Binding {
	Port = 80
	Interface = 192.168.0.2
}

Hostname = 127.0.0.1
WebsiteRoot = /root/Web-Server
StartFile = index.html
AccessLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/access.log
ErrorLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/error.log

#add this stuff to get a perl script working (pplog)...
#QUISP has a binary executable CGI named 'quisp.bin'...
MimetypeConfig = /etc/mime.types
CGIhandler = /usr/bin/perl:pl
CGIextension = pl,bin
ExecuteCGI = yes
#QUISP puts %0D, %0A (carriage-return, line-feed) chars in the url
#(v128), to allow chars below ascii 32 need this...
SecureURL = no

Interface = 192.168.0.2
}

Note these settings:
Hostname = 127.0.0.1 (this is your IP address)
WebsiteRoot = /root/Web-Server
StartFile = index.html (create this and put in some content)
