Does he need to??  He already fixed the error in bb-display.log by adding:

   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

to hobbitserver.cfg.  Shouldn't that also fix the cgi error??
bb-hostsvc.cgi pulls in

   /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg

which in turn does this:

   # hobbitsvc.cgi options for a normal (current) status display
   CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg --no-svcid
--histor
y=top"

so the cgi ought to pick up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Or does Apache need to
have LD_LIBRARY_PATH in *its* startup script so that the cgi gets it??

In the /var/log/apache2/error.log file I see the following error:

How can I fix this?
Thanks.

Take a look in your Apache log directory.  There should be an error_log
file there with some useful information about what broke.

I got it working :)

Here's what I did, I checked /var/log/hobbit/bb-display.log file and
there I saw the following error message repeating over and over:

bbgen: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Did google on this error, and found that I needed to add:

   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

to hobbitserver.cfg, and then restart Hobbit.

Which fixed my issue.

But I have another question:


When I click on the status icons. I get the following error. Is this normal?


Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster at localhost and inform
them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that
may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error
log.

Note when I did a grep server\/www * in the server/etc/ directory I only
got the hobbit-apache.conf.  My output is definitely in server/www.

Since you changed the home directory from /usr/local/hobbit to
/home/hobbit, I suspect that there may still be something pointing to
/usr/local/hobbit. Grep through the configuration files in the Xymon etc
directory looking for anything pointing to /usr/local. You might also check
the scripts in bin.

Apache is fine in this case.  For whatever reason Xymon isn't
outputting html content in server/www

I grep'ed through my config and I don't see where that is
configurable.  It may be compiled in for all I know.  Would you have the
capability to recompile the source?

 If the processes are running and you're not filling that directory
with index/bb/bb2.html files then you probably have the output directory set
to another directory then where that Alias (or Vhost) is pointing.

As was mentioned you do have to wait a good minute or two before that
directory is populated.  In my experience I never have that wait as I wait
between every step to accomplish something else.

 Hello everyone,

For the first time, I am trying to install Hobbit on my Ubuntu

Every step went fine but when I started hobbit and typed in the

instead of getting the main page, I get the directory structure (see below)?
What am I missing here?
Please assist. Thank you!
