Actually, this is where I started....
But it seems such a shame to tie up a fixed amount of memory, disk etc and
have the extra burden of another copy of OS as well as the bridged network
etc just to run another instance of an application.
Unix is a wonderful OS and is so good at scaling I just don't see this as a
good use of virtualisation (IMHO)
I have gone down the path of recompiling for the second install. There were
only about seven entries in the Makefile to modify from memory (not
including the port number)

Hi,
Has anyone actually tried this?
I started mucking around with it today but I don't believe it is as easy
as
it sounds. The original directory "/opt/hobbit/server" seems to be
hardcoded
into lots and lots of files, including compiled into binaries. I don't
see
how cloning the hobbit home directory would give you a reliable
configuration.
I am guessing that the only way to do this would be to reconfigure,
make,
make install. This would not be my preference but if there is no other
way...
Comments?

All you need to do is give each instance's hobbitd daemon a unique

listen to and then make sure everything is talking to the right port

putting files in the correct directories. Probably the easiest way to
do
this is to just clone the Hobbit home directory, then change BBPORT
and
BBHOME for the clone.

Hi,
Is is possible to run 2 hobbit servers on the same server ? I need
a
hobbit
server for our SLA servers and an other hobbit server for the rest.
And I want to run in on the same server. I copied the server
directory
and
changed all the needed files. Each hobbit server is listening on an
other
port.
However, the client information is ending up on1 hobbit server. I
think
this
has to with the way the hobbit daemons are communicating with each
other.
