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.

Thanks,

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?

 Are you doing \hobbit\bb.html ?

That is what mine is.

Try that and see if it works for you.

 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.

Is *xymon* running?  Look for ps named "hobbit"

ps aux|grep hobb

 Hello everyone,

For the first time, I am trying to install Hobbit on my Ubuntu Linux
Server. I followed the installation instructions provided on
http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/

Every step went fine but when I started hobbit and typed in the
hobbit address [ http://server-ip/hobbit/ ] in the browser, instead
of getting the main page, I get the directory structure (see below)? What am
I missing here?
Please assist. Thank you!
