[hobbit] Critical Systems page displaying "Internal Server Error"

[Josh Luthman]

Can you confirm that these are all similar...

-> cat /home/shire/cgi-bin/hobbit-nkview.sh
#!/bin/sh

# This is a wrapper for the Hobbit hobbit-nkview.cgi script

. /home/shire/server/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg
 exec /home/shire/server/bin/hobbit-nkview.cgi $CGI_NKVIEW_OPTS

-> grep CGI_NKVIEW_OPTS hobbitcgi.cfg
CGI_NKVIEW_OPTS="--env=/home/shire/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg"
