Question about Hiawatha error page.
Posted: Sun 31 Mar 2013, 09:03
Hi folks,
I wonder if any of you have used or currently use Hiawatha for serving web-pages?
Hiawatha has been running here on an old PC with puppy-linux for over 6 months now and aside from a few minor problems at the start it has performed very well.
Question:
This may seem a silly question but I noticed that when I enter an incorrect URL the local server/Hiawatha returns a "404" error page. Thats OK and I never questioned it before but more recently I noticed in the hiawatha.conf file that all the lines relating to error handling seem to be commented-out by default. That is to say that error handling does not appear to be enabled yet I still get an error page when an error happens so where do these pages come from?
The reason I ask is because I have read the support information for hiawatha which explains to some degree how to implement user generated error pages using (I think) cgi scrips but is it possible to alter the existing default error messages generated by hiawatha and where do they come from in the first place?
BTW I recently installed Hiawatha on a raspberry-pi and it runs quite happily as a small, snappy wireless-server. But, it also has all the error handling lines commented-out in the hiawatha.conf file and still manages to produce an error page when required, can anyone shed any light on this please?
