Off the top of my head:

1) Hobbit really is running

> Apparently not.  Hobbitlaunch is listed as a sleeping process, but no hobbit is listed.

2) Apache is configured with an appropriate redirect for the location
of the hobbit pages

> I am pretty sure I have this part correct.

3) The hobbit user can write to the location of the hobbit pages

> I believe I made those changes.  From what I can see the hobbit user has rwx on all files including those in the log files.

4) What do the hobbit logs say?

> None of the log files are being updated.
