RE: [hobbit] Configuration question

I did install this all from source, not a package.  When I run the hobbit.sh
script again the components restart and continue to live until I stop them,
bbdisplay fails each time it tries to run.

So on the assumption that index.html is created by Hobbit and symlinked to
bb.html your issue now is that bbgen isn't running.  Did you install it from
a package or from compilation?  Does the ps stay alive or die when you call
a start to the init script?

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. 

 

The page generator is bbgen, which is started up by the [bbdisplay] entry in
server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg.  It should log messages in bb-display.log in
whichever directory the other Hobbit logs are stored.  This is the thing
that's causing the "Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 6" messages in the
hobbitlaunch.log file.

bbgen has a --debug option, which might give you a bit more information
about why it crashes.
