Make sure your hobbit-nkview.cfg file has read/write permissions for your webserver user, i.e. rw-rw-r apache:apache hobbit-nkview.cfg
Also, go ahead and create a second file called "hobbit-nkview.cfg.bak" with the same perms/ownerships.

Subject: [xymon] How to use the critical system.
Running xymon 4.2.3 on a Sun Solaris 10 server.
Have read the document on the "Critical systems editor" and tried to edit a host but I get nothing in the hobbit-nkview.cfg file.
I have looked in the /var/log/xymon logs and I do not see any errors.
I enter a host name and a test and the click search. At that time I get a window popup "No recored forthis host/service". I then click on "update record" but nothing happens and the "Last update by:" does not change.
Not sure where to look for errors to try and find out what is going on.
Can someone give me some tips on how to get this going?
Thanks
