[hobbit] Install problems

Fri May 25 23:39:16 CEST 2007

There should be a symlink in /var/www/html to the $BBHOME/server/www
directory (where your web pages are generated) underneath your Hobbit
install directly, typically /usr/local/hobbit.

The "listening on 0.0.0.0:1984" is normal.

Hobbit doesn't use the BBDISPLAY, BBPAGER , or BBNET  variables in
bb-hosts.  The 'bbd' tag will just cause Hobbit to check that either the
Hobbit daemon or the BigBrother daemon is running.

I suspect that all you need is the symbolic link I mentioned above. Check
your $BBHOME/server/www directory to make sure your pages are being
generated.  The "hobbitd servername MACHINE='RESMACMGMT01' not listed in
bb-hosts, dropping hobbitd status" message will typically go away in a few
minutes as Hobbit gets its database built up.  If you have the link, and
your pages are being generated and you still can't get the pages on your
browser your Apache configuration is messed up. Look at your Apache error
logs to get an idea of what's going on.

Thanks,
Larry Barber
