client problems - connection refused

Do you have "bbd" in the bb-hosts file for these clients with these
problems?

Only the server should have "bbd".

The clients don't listen on port 1984, the server does.  The clients
initiate connection to the server, not the other way around.

OK, my mistake - they are not doing it.  The Server shows all the
clients (except itself) are red under bbd.

So now I go to the client and login as the hobbit user and I can
telnet to the server on port 1984

and I can run bb:

hobbit at ap1:~/client/bin$ ./bb --debug 10.1.90.22 "query
ap1.lax1.boredat.com conn"
2007-08-22 11:19:00 Transport setup is:
2007-08-22 11:19:00 bbdportnumber = 1984
2007-08-22 11:19:00 bbdispproxyhost = NONE
2007-08-22 11:19:00 bbdispproxyport = 0
2007-08-22 11:19:00 Recipient listed as '10.1.90.22'
2007-08-22 11:19:00 Standard BB protocol on port 1984
2007-08-22 11:19:00 Will connect to address 10.1.90.22 port 1984
2007-08-22 11:19:00 Connect status is 0
2007-08-22 11:19:00 Sent 31 bytes
2007-08-22 11:19:00 Closing connection

So the client appears to be working (yes?)

Back on the server bbd is still red and if I click on it (the red
icon under bbd) I see the message:

Service bbd on ap1.lax1.boredat.com is not OK : Service unavailable
(Connection refused)

How can I debug this?

Subject: [hobbit] client problems - connection refused

I'm doing a new installation of Hobbit.  I followed the directions
from
the web and got to "Congratulations, you now have a running Hobbit
server!" without problems.

Then I added a few clients - the Hobbit server seems to be working
fine
(immediately as they showed up in the web page http and conn went
green)
but I cannot seem to get the client installed and working
correctly.  I
tar-ed and copied the client directory to each client machine,
created a
hobbit user there and setup the ~hobbit/client/ directory.

I can launch the client:

runclient.sh start

and the client/logs/clientlaunch.log shows it started;  ps -ef shows
it's still running - but client/logs/hobbitclient.log is empty

I cannot telnet to the clients on port 1984 - so naturally the hobbit
server thinks bbd is dead.

Do I have to build the hobbit client on all the clients?  Or have I
missed something else?

Thanks,

Frank
