[hobbit] Configuration question

[Daniel Elswit]

I have a DirectoryIndex in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf.  The line is:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml

 

Some parts of hobbit appear to be running when I look in the ps list, and
new entries periodically appear in the logs.  But whatever part of it
generates the pages is failing.

Two issues then - Hobbit isn't running as bb.html isn't being generated.

Secondly DirectoryIndex has to be mentioned, as you have apach2.conf I'm
sure it is debian - do a grep /etc/httpd/* -R DirectoryIndex

Earlier today I had a permissions problem, but I've since modified the
permissions to allow both the hobbit user and www-data full access to the
/usr/bin/hobbit tree (and it's world-readable/executable) and haven't seen
new instances of permissions errors recently.  Nothing has shown up recently
in the bb-display.log.  hobbitlaunch.log still has the "Task bbdisplay
terminated by signal 6" errors.

 

I'm assuming that bbgen generates the pages?  If the hobbit user manually
runs bbgen it just says "aborted".  Not sure if that's normal.  There is no
bb.html on the entire system, and no index.html in anything related to
hobbit.  There is no DirectoryIndex statement in apache2.conf.

When you go to that url you should get the hobbit display page.  You're not,
because bbdisplay is crashing.  Is there anything interesting in
bb-display.log??

Thanks for the reply!  The trailing slash gives me the directory listing of
/hobbit (gifs, help, html, menu, etc.)  The alias statement is:

Alias /hobbit/  "/usr/bin/hobbit/server/www/"

 

Hobbit does in fact live in /usr/bin/hobbit.

Try the address http://localhost/hobbit/ (note the trailing slash)

What is your Alias statement in apache2.conf?

Hello.  I'm attempting to set up Hobbit 4.2 on a Debian box (very clean -
Hobbit is the only thing it's doing.)  I followed all the directions -
loaded the prerequisites, patched with the all-in-one patch, added the
hobbit-specific lines into apache2.conf, etc.  It compiled and installed
just fine, and the service starts.  But when I go to the
http://localhost/hobbit page, I get a "404 not found" error.  The
apache2.conf file points to the ~hobbit/server/www directory but I don't see
any html files there or in the subdirectory "html" under that.  In the
hobbitlaunch.log I see a number of "Task bbdisplay terminated by signal
6"... not sure if that's related.  Any thoughts?  I'm starting to run out of
options to try.

Thanks!
