4.2.0 problem with "Snapshot Report"

Ahh, thanks.  The directory existed, but the group permissions where set to
"hobbit" instead of "apache".  I think I selected "nobody" when compiling
and installing Hobbit; could this be why the group permissions were wrong?

I've been trying to get the "Snapshot Report" feature to work correctly,

no matter what date I use for the report, when I click on "Generate

Report",

I get a blank page with only "Cannot create output directory" as its
contents.  I checked the apache logs and can't find any information
about
this.  Any ideas?

Make sure there's a "snap" directory below the Hobbit "www" directory,
with access rights so that the webserver userid has write access.
Typically this will be in ~hobbit/server/www/ with group-write access,
and the group set to the webserver group-id. E.g.

$ cd ~hobbit/server/www; ls -l
total 18
