Yep, that introduction usually ends with such reservation

Yellow "hobbitd" status points to either hobbitd just being restarted,
or some errormessages logged at the bottom of the hobbitd status
display. If the latter, what are those messages ? (They should be in
the hobbitd.log file also).

If you view any status for the Hobbit server, there should be a "Client
data" link at the bottom of the page. If you click on that link, is
there a section beginning with "[ports]" ? If not, the client logfile is
probably the best place to start troubleshooting it (the
"hobbitclient.log" in the Hobbit logs directory).
