## Download page doesn't work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please make sure Javascript is enabled in your browser, and that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
antivirus software is not blocking the download.

## MacOS message: "Mongoose.app is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This happens on newer MacOS systems. The reason for the message
|
|
|
|
|
|
is the fact Mongoose.app is not digitally signed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mongoose download procedure changes the app on the fly by injecting
|
|
|
|
|
|
user information in the binary, making any prior digital signature void.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open "System Preferences" -> "Security" and set "Allow apps downloaded from"
|
|
|
|
|
|
to "Anywhere". Revert the settings once Mongoose is installed.

## PHP doesn't work: getting empty page, or 'File not found' error

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The reason for that is wrong paths to the interpreter. Remember that with PHP,
|
|
|
|
|
|
correct interpreter is `php-cgi.exe` (`php-cgi` on UNIX). Solution: specify
|
|
|
|
|
|
full path to the PHP interpreter, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mongoose -cgi_interpreter /full/path/to/php-cgi
|
|
|

## Mongoose fails to start

|
If Mongoose exits immediately when run, this
|
|
|
|
|
|
usually indicates a syntax error in the configuration file
|
|
|
|
|
|
(named `mongoose.conf` by default) or the command-line arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Syntax checking is omitted from Mongoose to keep its size low. However,
|
|
|
|
|
|
the Manual should be of help. Note: the syntax changes from time to time,
|
|
|
|
|
|
so updating the config file might be necessary after executable update.

### Embedding with OpenSSL on Windows might fail because of calling convention
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To force Mongoose to use `__stdcall` convention, add `/Gz` compilation
|
|
|
|
|
|
flag to the Visual Studio project settings.
