Hello everybody!

Hopfully anyone here has some experiences with the Hiawatha Webserver I am currently using. I managed to get October installed via the web interface already, solving some little issues like failing while downloading and unpacking needed files due to too short PHP TimeOut values within the Hiawatha configuration file - nevermind, seems to be the case with other webservers as well.

Anyway, it still refuses to work correctly. I am receiving the following exception:

We're sorry, but an unhandled error occurred. Please see the details below.
You need to specify a file path to store the seed.

I already found topics about this particular exception but unfortunately none of them seems to meet my own specific constellation of software. Sure, I have tried to adjust the rewrite rules of my Hiawatha webserver. For doing so I took the rewrite rules for Nginx I found in the documentation here and tried to make them fit the Hiawatha config file syntax.

Currently the configuration for the rewrite rules look like this:

UrlToolkit {
    ToolkitID = october
    Match ^/(.*)$ Rewrite /index.php?/$1
    Match themes/.*/(layouts|pages|partials)/.*.htm Rewrite /index.php
    Match uploads/protected/.* Rewrite /index.php
}

Maybe someone is able to find my mistake(s)?

Thanks in advance.

I finally got that solution from the developer of Hiawatha and with it I was able to have October up and running now.

The solution is to add an UrlToolkit for October in the hiawatha.conf which looks like this:

  UrlToolkit {
      ToolkitID = october
      Match /themes/.*/(layouts|pages|partials)/.*.htm Rewrite /index.php
      Match /uploads/protected/.* Rewrite /index.php
      RequestURI isfile Return
      Match .* Rewrite /index.php
  }
