OK, this is a complete webpage, it just doesn't have any hosts 
on it. Which is consistent with what you'd get when bbgen cannot
query the Hobbit server for the current status.

OK, try running it with the "--debug" option added. It dumps
a lot of output, but you should find something like this:

2007-07-16 16:25:34 load_state()
2007-07-16 16:25:34 Transport setup is:
2007-07-16 16:25:34 bbdportnumber = 1984
2007-07-16 16:25:34 bbdispproxyhost = NONE
2007-07-16 16:25:34 bbdispproxyport = 0
2007-07-16 16:25:34 Recipient listed as '127.0.0.1'

2007-07-16 16:25:34 Will connect to address 127.0.0.1 port 1984
2007-07-16 16:25:34 Connect status is 0

The "recipient" setting is taken from the BBDISP setting in
hobbitserver.cfg - this must be the correct IP of your Hobbit server.

Is there any indication that the "hobbitd" process has crashed? It
will restart automatically, but do check for core-files in
~hobbit/data/tmp/, or the process creation timestamp of the "hobbitd"
proces. And the hobbitlaunch.log file will also tell if it has restarted
hobbit.
