Install problems

There should be a symlink in /var/www/html to the $BBHOME/server/www
directory (where your web pages are generated) underneath your Hobbit
install directly, typically /usr/local/hobbit.

The "listening on 0.0.0.0:1984" is normal.

Hobbit doesn't use the BBDISPLAY, BBPAGER , or BBNET  variables in
bb-hosts.  The 'bbd' tag will just cause Hobbit to check that either the
Hobbit daemon or the BigBrother daemon is running.

I suspect that all you need is the symbolic link I mentioned above. Check
your $BBHOME/server/www directory to make sure your pages are being
generated.  The "hobbitd servername MACHINE='RESMACMGMT01' not listed in
bb-hosts, dropping hobbitd status" message will typically go away in a few
minutes as Hobbit gets its database built up.  If you have the link, and
your pages are being generated and you still can't get the pages on your
browser your Apache configuration is messed up. Look at your Apache error
logs to get an idea of what's going on.

Thanks,

 Maybe modifying this line in your bb-hosts

From:

10.70.55.227   RESMACMGMT01      # bbd

To:

10.70.55.227   RESMACMGMT01      # BBDISPLAY BBPAGER BBNET bbd


The problem seems to be something related to your servername/hostname, try
check your configuration files, comparing to the real servername/hostname.

   Hi Ben!

Have you checked your logfiles ? at /var/log/hobbit ?

 This doesn't look good but I am not sure what it means...

This also looks concerning, especially the part where it is listening at
0.0.0.0:1984.

 Please also paste your server/etc/bb-hosts file...

 #
# Master configuration file for Hobbit
#
# This file defines several things:
#
# 1) By adding hosts to this file, you define hosts that are monitored by
Hobbit
# 2) By adding "page", "subpage", "group" definitions, you define the layout
#    of the Hobbit webpages, and how hosts are divided among the various
webpages
#    that Hobbit generates.
# 3) Several other definitions can be done for each host, see the
bb-hosts(5)
#    man-page.
#
# You need to define at least the Hobbit server itself here.
