I just upgraded my main hobbit server to the new 4.2.0 and now all of
the conn tests go red. I have manually tested the fping command and that
does work. There are no logs created other then hobbitlaunch.log and
that doesn't have anything about the failure.
If only hobbitlaunch.log is created, then it is failing to start the
main hobbitd process. In which case your webpages are not being updated,
the network tests stop running, and life in general is miserable.
4.1.2pl2 worked fine and nothing was changed from when it was upgraded.
Any suggestions?
Sounds like shared memory/semaphore IPC problems to me.  What's in the
hobbitlaunch.log file ?
I believe I found the issue.

2006-08-14 10:52:58 Cannot open PID file /home/hobbit/logs/hobbitd.pid:
No such file or directory

Even though I set the log dir to /home/hobbit/log in ./configure, it
seems that make install won't overwrite hobbitserver.cfg with the new
setting (log vs logs). Should it? I must have mistyped it once and it
seems to have stuck.

Changing that manually and restarting solved the problem.
