[hobbit] Status not available?

[Wes Neal]

Henrik you said the following error:  

> 2005-08-10 16:09:05 hobbitsvc connect to bbd failed - Connection refused
> 2005-08-10 16:09:05 hobbitsvc Whoops ! bb failed to send message -
> Connection failed

Is caused by the CGI script failing to pickup the environment variable from
hobbitserver.cfg.  My cfg file has:

BBSERVERIP="IP.OCTETS.here"  and BBDISP="$BBSERVERIP"

So why would it not be picking it up?

Thanks
Wes

Yes it should have been conn, but it generates the same error either way.
Not that my webserver uid can write to the error log when I click a button
on the webpage I get this as before:

2005-08-10 17:03:01 hobbitsvc connect to bbd failed - Connection refused
2005-08-10 17:03:01 hobbitsvc Whoops ! bb failed to send message -
Connection failed

So that seems to be the given error, but I have no idea the cause.

Thanks
Wes

It's not a typo :-)

The last part of the HOSTSVC value is the column-name. Do you have
a "comm" column ? Or should it be "conn" - with an 'n' ? I think so.

It looks like the CGI script fails to pick up the Hobbit environment
setting that defines the IP of the Hobbit server. This is taken from
the BBDISP setting in the hobbitserver.cfg.

Try making the cgierror.log file writable by your webserver user-id,
that should make any errors from the real requests show up in that
file.
