That's fine but I still need to incorporate the old settings and data
into the new setup.

Subject: Re: [hobbit] Hobbit directory structure
Instead of trying to inspect everything one by one I strongly suggest
just blowing everything away (backing up your ~hobbit dir for recovery
later) and compiling it.
That's just my opinion =)

I just installed Hobbit using yum on a new system, unfortunately I
already had my /home/hobbit structure from the previous system (which
crashed). Well, it appears that yum installed Hobbit quite differently
than I had originally installed.

It appears that I need to:
#----Copy data
cp -ar /home/hobbit/data/hist/* /var/lib/hobbit/data/hist
cp -ar /home/hobbit/data/histlogs/* /var/lib/hobbit/data/histlogs
cp -ar /home/hobbit/data/rrd/* /var/lib/hobbit/data/rrd
#----Copy configuration
cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/bb-hosts /etc/hobbit
cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg /etc/hobbit
cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg /etc/hobbit
cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitpasswd /etc/hobbit
#--->Modify existing instead!
#--->cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg /etc/hobbit
Still run under user hobbit? If so, what directory structure is needed?
Anything else I might be missing?
