[hobbit] Report Creation Error

Sorted it now, apache was running as user nobody but further down in the
config file it had group -1 which my system didn't seem to like. Changed
this to nobody and its working fine now.

Sorry for confusion.

Thanks,
Craig

Group nobody is at 99 and if I try to set ownership to -1 it will think
this an option. I don't think I can have a group -1! I'm not really sure
why it's trying to run with this.

Thanks,
Craig

"group -1" means the report CGI script runs with group-id "-1".

OK, so group-id -1 is probably the "nobody" group.  Do a 
   "chgrp -1 /usr/local/hobbit/server/www/rep/"
to get the ownership on the rep-directory right.
