Cannot start Hiawatha since upgrade to 9.12

Hi,

I just upgraded my Hiawatha server from version: v9.8 to 9.12 on FreeBSD10..
Since then, I am unable to start the server at all.
The error says
sudo service hiawatha start
Starting hiawatha.
Syntax error in hiawatha.conf on line 13.


The corresponding code at line 13 in my hiawatha.conf file is
 1 # Hiawatha main configuration file
2 #
3
4
5 # GENERAL SETTINGS
6 #
7 ServerId = www
8 ConnectionsTotal = 1000
9 ConnectionsPerIP = 10
10 SystemLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/system.log
11 GarbageLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/garbage.log
12 ExploitLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/exploit.log
13 MonitorServer = 192.168.11.127
14
15 LogFormat = extended
16 ServerString = Apache
17 CGIwrapper = /usr/local/sbin/cgi-wrapper


Before the upgrade, the system was ruining OK.

Could you please advise if the syntax has changed?

Thank you

Hiawatha version: 9.12
Operating System: FreeBSD10

Hi Fred, Are you using the Monitor functions? Try removing line 13. or commenting it out. Also try removing line 16 ServerString. For now make the config simple as possible.

Hi Fred , first of all turn line 13 to a comment by add # in front of it, and try to run hiawatha(just to make sure that there is only this issue). After that and if hiawatha is running normal try to reinstall monitor and follow the instructions in the included README file. Check this page https://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/howto/monitor.

Did you include support for the Hiawatha Monitor when compiling v9.12? What is the output of 'hiawatha -v'?
