[hobbit] Renaming the hobbit server

["Thiesfeld, Gordon" <GThiesfeld (at) webmd.net>]

Now that I have had everything green for a few days, and nothing has
disappeared, I figured I would try to rename my hobbit server again.  What
I'm trying to do is go from FQDN (gthiesfeld.homelinux.org) to hostname
(gthiesfeld).  

Here are the steps I took.

 

1. I changed it in the hostfile

2. I ran /bb 127.0.0.1 "rename gthiesfeld.homelinux.org gthiesfeld". 

3. I went in to the bb client that I was running on the box and set FQDN
from "TRUE" to "".  

 

I've noticed that you can tell what hosts hobbitd thinks it has by going to
the enable/disable page.  So I go there, and it shows two separate hosts;
gthiesfeld.homelinux.org and gthiesfeld.  The host gthiesfeld.homelinux.org
lists bbgen, bbtest, and hobbitd as test.  The host gthiesfeld lists
everything it should have.  After the purple timeout, those three checks
went to purple.

 

I stopped hobbit, and went in to hobbitserver.cfg and set FQDN to "FALSE"
and restarted.  Then I noticed that bbgen wasn't rebuilding my pages.

 

I was finally able to figure out what was going on by clicking on the bbgen
test (which brought me to an outdated purple page) then changing the url
from this:

 

/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOSTSVC=gthiesfeld.bbgen&IP=192.168.1.2&DISPLAYNAM
E=gthiesfeld

 

to this:

 

/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOSTSVC=gthiesfeld,homelinux,org.bbgen&IP=192.168.
1.2&DISPLAYNAME=gthiesfeld

 

This is a red page with the message -Program crashed - Fatal Signal Caught!

 

Is there anything left to try?  I'm thinking I should recompile it, and
change it from the default (gthiesfeld.homelinux.org) to hostname in the
configure script.

 

Thanks,

 

Gordon
