moving hobbit from Ubuntu to Debian

One more thing before I go to sleep :-)

Check your hobbitserver.cfg - if you have BBDISP set the same as 
BBSERVERIP. That *is* the default, but you might have changed it.
It should be
   BBDISP="$BBSERVERIP"
in hobbitserver.cfg.

A bit into that log is where bbgen tries to fetch the current status
from the Hobbit daemon. It looks like this:

2006-06-01 00:02:24 load_state()
2006-06-01 00:02:24 Transport setup is:
2006-06-01 00:02:24 bbdportnumber = 1984
2006-06-01 00:02:24 bbdispproxyhost = NONE
2006-06-01 00:02:24 bbdispproxyport = 0
2006-06-01 00:02:24 Recipient listed as '127.0.0.1'
2006-06-01 00:02:24 Standard BB protocol on port 1984
2006-06-01 00:02:24 Will connect to address 127.0.0.1 port 1984
2006-06-01 00:02:24 Connect status is 0
2006-06-01 00:02:24 Sent 118 bytes

Does it report the right IP-address as the 'Recipient' ?

Telnet to localhost as well as 127.0.0.1 work, yes.
The hobbitdboard returns a lot of data.

I've literally been looking at this for hours, I don't know what else is
wrong.
I even did a completely fresh install, dropped in my bb-hosts, same results.
I know bb-hosts is OK since it's working elsewhere (I did change the bbd
line of course).

Can you telnet to 127.0.0.1 port 1984 ? If that times out, then you have
a seriously heavy firewall setup. Something like
  iptables -I INPUT 1 -i lo -j ACCEPT
  iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -i lo -j ACCEPT
should cancel out any paranoid firewall setups locally on the box, for
the loopback-interface.

Can you do a "~hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 hobbitdboard" and get any
data back ?

If you're running all of the network tests locally, I think you can
get away with setting
  BBSERVERIP="127.0.0.1"
in your hobbitserver.cfg, and let all of the communications happen on
the loopback-interface. Of course, for clients to work you'll need to
get port 1984 opened up for access from the clients. But loopback should
be ok for just getting the Hobbit server up and running.

I thought of that, eventually, and corrected the error.  Same problem.
localhost is responding on 1984, but the site's firewall is blocking

1984.

I don't have any clients connecting at the moment, so I don't imagine
this
is a problem, but thought I would mention it.

Check the IP-adresses for the Hobbit server in the hobbitserver.cfg
file. From your logs, it seems that the query to fetch the current
total
status from the Hobbit daemon goes to the wrong server (the old IP,
probably), so there is no response and therefore the webpages dont get
any hosts listed.

I got an account on a new virtual host (debian 3.1 on virtuozzo), and
dropped in a tar of my hobbit dir.
I figured I could just edit bb-hosts and be up and running in
minutes.
Hours later, I'm still not up.

OK, so I was missing fping, and rrdtool.  Hobbit did not like the
older
rrdtool 1.X under debian stable, so I switch to testing, upgraded,
and
recompiled and reinstalled hobbit.
It's still not working, even with a simplified bb-hosts.

hobbit runs, but the webpage output is devoid of any host data.
I can't figure out what else could be wrong, this should have been a
very
simple port.
