link bb_footer missing

On report pages (and bb2.html) I get this showing:

link bb_footer

Ghost clients page is all blue, not the usual blue on the side.  I suspect I have a permission problem somewhere but am not sure where...

My apache error log shows this:

[Mon Feb 16 16:02:28 2009] [error] [client 10.12.33.5] File does not exist: /export/xymon/server/www/hobbit, referer: http://xymon.example.com/xymon-cgi/hobbi
t-ghosts.sh
[Mon Feb 16 16:02:28 2009] [error] [client 10.12.33.5] File does not exist: /export/xymon/server/www/hobbit, referer: http://xymon.example.com/xymon-cgi/hobbi
t-ghosts.sh

The file "/export/xymon/server/www/hobbit" does not exist, not sure why it is being called.

Using rc 4.2.3

what are my next steps to correct this...?

Thanks

How did you get RC 4.2.3?  The "link bb_footer" issue sounds like a SVN
export to a Windows client followed by a copy back to your server.

It was actually a regular 4.2.2 install, then 4.2.3 from SVN, and it is now Xymon 4.2.3-RC1.

This issue has probably been there for a while.

Looking further, the main page shows "Xymon 4.2.3-RC1", so do sub pages.  bb2.html shows "link bb_footer", so do the reports.

Sub pages like "oracle" are generated every minute, along with bb2.html, so I am not sure what is broken.

This issue appeared on 4.3.0RC1 also.
 
The install was a compressed download to a Solaris 10 x86 server so the only
place it passed through a windows box was on the download.
 
The install was clean and the only patch on it is the
"sendmessage-emptyresponse.patch" from
<http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2009/02/msg00140.html>;
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2009/02/msg00140.html.
 
 
Otherwise I cannot detect any problems with 4.3.0

I believe this is related to the problem reported by Paul Moore on
2008/10/20.  It was titled "hobbitcgi-cfg CGI_HOSTS_OPT mistype".

Brief summary:
1. hobbit-ghosts.cgi
CGI_GHOSTS_OPT="--env=/usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg"
should read
CGI_GHOSTS_OPTS="--env=/usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg"
(missing S on OPTS)

2. Adding CGI_NOTIFYLOG_OPTS variable to hobbitcgi.cfg.  This variable is
referenced in hobbit-notifylog.sh.

3. The RELEASENOTES reference CGI_GHOSTS_OPT (S missing) and is missing the
CGI_NOTIFYLOG_OPTS variable.

Because of these issues it causes the footer to not appear.  I have not
actually looked at the newer versions (4.3.0 or 4.2.3, but I suspect this is
the same issue).

Ah.  Yes,
CGI_GHOSTS_OPTS="--env=/usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg"

Is an issue.  I added that and my ghost clients report screen is no longer all blue, I have the blue bar on the left.  I still have "link bb_footer" showing though.

Looking further it seems to be the last level html page with an issue.  i.e. bb2.html does not have any pages below it, it has an issue.
Page "oracle" has clients listed on it, so it does not have a problem.

The "conn" page for a  host has the link bb_footer issue.

So my theory now is something to do with the web page generation for leaf pages...

An early release of 4.3.0 had this listed in hobbitcgi.cfg

CGI_NOTIFYLOG_OPT="--env=/usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg"
CGI_HOSTLIST_OPT="--env=/usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg"

I have put that in but it only resolved report pages being totally blue.

Another thing I have noticed is my menu (views reports etc) does not show up for the bb2.html page, but it is there for the main page and critical systems page.

Never mind, found this issue.

xymon/server/web contains the bb_footer file.  bb2_footer should be a symlink to bb_footer, but bb2_footer contains the text "link bb_footer" hence why I see that and not the actual footer.

I deleted xymon/server/web/* and did "make install" and the files and links were put in place correctly.

That worked for me also.
 
I found a bunch more footer files all at 14 bytes.   I deleted all of them
except for bb_footer and re-created them with a symbolic link to bb_footer.
The menu also is now following along and no bb_footer is displayed anymore.
