[hobbit] NooB questions - Status not Available

[Galen Johnson]

I don't use the packages but I'm wondering if your apache httpd.conf file has the hobbit include info...either via an Include directive or pasted in directly.  Look in there and see if there is anything hobbit related.

Thanks for your response Thomas, 
 
unfortunately, I get it on every test, all the time, regardless of how many times I refresh. Im sure I have over looked something simple, I just dont know what it is yet!

	I get the blank 'Status Not Available' screen occasionally. I think it
	is just the hobbit server being busy or the network slow. When I
	'refresh' the page, I get a regular screen of data.
