Ok heres the specifics. I would think I did something completely wrong
except that it worked for about 5 minutes. Apache is definitely running,
as the page loads, but displays no machines. 

I didn't change anything, but I restarted it, and it's not listening on
1984 anymore it seems.  netstat -anp | grep LISTEN doesn't show it. 

hobbit at shinkansen server $ ps -ef | grep hobbit

Hobbitd.log is 0 bytes. 

Bb-display.log tells me:

*sigh* I have angered the Hobbit diety and even stopping it and starting
will not populate the page any longer. It says "Current Status" and
there is no list of machines. Bb-hosts looks fine though. Not sure what
else it could be.

It shouldn't be - restarting should just pick up where the old one left
off. But: I know there is a race condition when shutting down Hobbit, so
restarting could fail in beta-5; "stop", wait a few seconds, "start"
does work.
