SELinux. Either apply the right contexts to the hobbit cgi files, or turn off 
SELinux protection for Apache, or (if you really can't be bothered with using 
SELinux correctly), turn it off.

(if you are interested in using SELinux correctly, install setroubleshoot, and 
tail it's log while you access the CGIs ...).

I previously sent the 2 or 3 SELinux commands required to make things work 
without disabling anything related to SELinux to the list ...
