Thanks for your response Thomas, 
 
unfortunately, I get it on every test, all the time, regardless of how many times I refresh. Im sure I have over looked something simple, I just dont know what it is yet!

	I get the blank 'Status Not Available' screen occasionally. I think it
	is just the hobbit server being busy or the network slow. When I
	'refresh' the page, I get a regular screen of data.

Subject: [hobbit] NooB questions - Status not Available

Hi,

Im a NooB to Hobbit. I have some Big Brother background which
is why I chose Hobbit for a new monitoring project at my company.

Im running CentOS 5, and I installed Apache 2, and
rrdtool-1.0.50-3.el5.rf.i386.rpm and Hobbit from
hobbit-4.1.2p1-1e14.re.i386.

The installations all went smoothly, no error messages, I put
some hosts in my bb-hosts file and fired up hobbitd.

The main page comes up, but when I click on any of the tests
icons, instead of getting the current status for that hosts
tests, I get a blank page with "Status not Available". 
However, if I click on "all Non-Green view" from the view
menus and look at the tests historically they are all there
and can be viewed normally. I checked the files for the hosts
in the hist, hislogs and logs directories and they are
growing and receiving data from the clients.  A ps -ef | grep
hobbitd seems to indicate that hobbitd is up and running.

I suspect its a permissions thing, but the structure of
Hobbit is different enough from BB Im not sure where to look.
  I am also seeing a couple of odd behaviors in reports that
makes me suspect that as well.  If I try to run a snapshot
report I get a blank page with "Cannot create output
directory", and the config report says it cannot contact the
Hobbit server.

If this is the wrong place for this post, please let me know
and I will go where I should. And if anyone has a little
patience to help a NooB along for awhile, I will promise to
do my time helping other NooBs along when the shoe is on the
other foor and support this forum.

Paul
