Re: [hobbit] Hobbit Installation Issue

[Tanveer Siddiqui <tanveers (at) yahoo.com>]

In the /var/log/apache2/error.log file I see the following error:

[Tue Nov 18 12:30:32 2008] [error] [client X.X.X.X] Premature end of script headers: bb-hostsvc.sh, referer: http://X.X.X.X/hobbit/
/home/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitsvc.cgi: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


How can I fix this?
Thanks.

Take a look in your Apache log directory.  There should be an error_log file there with some useful information about what broke.

I got it working :)

Here's what I did, I checked /var/log/hobbit/bb-display.log file and there I saw the following error message repeating over and over:

bbgen: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Did google on this error, and found that I needed to add:
 
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

to hobbitserver.cfg, and then restart Hobbit.

Which fixed my issue.

But I have another question: 

When I click on the status icons. I get the following error. Is this normal?



Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster (at) localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred,
and anything you might have done that may have
caused the error.

in the server error log.

Note when I did a grep server\/www * in the server/etc/ directory I only got the hobbit-apache.conf.  My output is definitely in server/www.

Since you changed the home directory from /usr/local/hobbit to /home/hobbit, I suspect that there may still be something pointing to /usr/local/hobbit. Grep through the configuration files in the Xymon etc directory looking for anything pointing to /usr/local. You might also check the scripts in bin.

Apache is fine in this case.  For whatever reason Xymon isn't outputting html content in server/www

I grep'ed through my config and I don't see where that is configurable.  It may be compiled in for all I know.  Would you have the capability to recompile the source?

If the processes are running and you're not filling that directory with 
index/bb/bb2.html files then you probably have the output directory set to 
another directory then where that Alias (or Vhost) is pointing.
 
As was mentioned you do have to wait a good minute or two before that 
directory is populated.  In my experience I never have that wait as I wait 
between every step to accomplish something else.

Hello everyone,

For the first time, I am trying to install  Hobbit on my Ubuntu Linux Server. I followed the installation instructions  provided on http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/

Every step went  fine but when I started hobbit and typed in the hobbit address [ http://server-ip/hobbit/ ] in the browser, instead of  getting the main page, I get the directory structure (see below)? What am  I missing here?
Please assist. Thank you!
