Hi all. I was running Hobbit 4.1.2 on a Red Hat Linux server, and tried
to upgrade to 4.2.0. Since I didn't see any documentation on doing the
upgrade, I stopped Hobbit and Apache, backed up my current configs and files,
and ran the install process for 4.2.0 to be placed in the same location 4.1.2
was running.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=380531917-15092006> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>Everything seemed to work, at the bottom of the screen I now see "<A
style="TEXT-DECORATION: none"
href="http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/"><STRONG><FONT size=1>Hobbit Monitor
4.2.0</FONT></STRONG></A>" as the version, but none of the new menus or
options are appearing. For instance under "Views" I still have "NK
View", not critical systems view. NK View still goes to the bbnk.html
page, not the new cgi scripts. The cgi files are in the cgi-bin
directory, just no menu items or links to them. If I directly go to
them they seem to work fine.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
