[hobbit] Installing Release 4.3

Hi DNS,

Does your www directory contain a bb.html file? If you placed your hobbit
installation in the /usr/lib/hobbit directory then this file should exist in
/usr/lib/hobbit/server/www

If this file does not exist, then the hobbit process is not running correctly or
has been configured in a way that the www directory is somewhere else. Try doing
'find | grep bb.html' to determine whether the file has been created and what
directory it is located in.

If the file does exist, make sure the /hobbit/ alias in your apache config (or
referenced hobbit-apache.conf)  points to the directory bb.html is in.

Regards

Matthew

Hi DNS,

It should all work. you need to browse to http://localhost/hobbit/ after an
install is complete. You MUST include the training slash...

Can you confirm that you started hobbit correctly? Are there hobbit processes
running so that the bb.html page has been generated?

What is in your apache logs?

And what about the hobbit log directory, is there anything being logged there to
confirm that data is being collected and processed?

Cheers

Phil

  What happens when you browse to /hobbit/ (note the trailing slash!)
