Hello -
I downloaded the latest snapshot tonight and was able to compile and
install it. I am running into a problem starting it however. When I
execute the hobbit.sh start (or restart) it appears to execute
correctly however nothing appears on the website. In looking through
the logs I found the following:
2005-08-10 07:06:17 Loading hostnames
2005-08-10 07:06:17 Loading saved state
2005-08-10 07:06:17 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984
2005-08-10 07:06:17 Setting up signal handlers
2005-08-10 07:06:17 Setting up hobbitd channels
2005-08-10 07:06:17 Could not attach shm Too many open files
2005-08-10 07:06:17 Cannot setup client channel
I was afraid something like that might happen - the latest snapshots
increase the max. size of messages that Hobbit can handle to acommodate
some of the larger messages that clients may send.
You need to tweak a kernel tuning parameter for your Mac OS X / Darwin
kernel. From a bit of googling it seems this is done very much like the
way you'd do it on FreeBSD - i.e. using the "sysctl" tool.
Could you try running (as "root" or whatever that's called on Darwin):
for P in shmall shmmni shmmax; do sysctl kern.ipc.$P; done
and also the "ipcs -m" command to list the current shared memory
segments.
