Off the top of my head:

1) Hobbit really is running

> Apparently not.  Hobbitlaunch is listed as a sleeping process, but no
hobbit is listed.

2) Apache is configured with an appropriate redirect for the location
of the hobbit pages

> I am pretty sure I have this part correct.

3) The hobbit user can write to the location of the hobbit pages

> I believe I made those changes.  From what I can see the hobbit user
has rwx on all files including those in the log files.


Verify that after your restore that the index.html pages are actually
linked to the true files and not files themselves.  I have had this
happen and the real files were being updated but since index.html were
also files my data looked stale.

4) What do the hobbit logs say?
