 Hi


The msgs and files tests from hobbit clients are not working properly on
my hobbit display. The tests do go red when they pick up an error but
immediately go green again. Entries in the history show a duration time of
"none" when the status changes to red.


I want to display the red status for an hour so that errors will be
noticed and alerted. The Big Brother client does this by default but I can't
get useful monitoring of log files from the hobbit clients because the
status only goes red for an instant. Can anyone tell me what I am doing
wrong?

 I was installing 4.2.0 from scratch. I had 4.2.0 beta on the system, and
just wanted to get it upgraded.


However I ran into two issues. I did a fresh install, by stopping hobbit
and moving the server folder to server-old.


#1 I copied over the www folder, but all the sections, and systems have
disappeared.


#2 When I click on anything in the cgi-secure folder, I get an "Internal
Server Error"


Now the thing is, if I just upgrade the beta folder, by leaving it there
when I run make install, everything works….. Just wondering what is wrong
here.


Also when I go to bb2.rss, I get parse errors, but this has always
happened:

*Parse error*: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in *
/home/hobbit/server/www/bb2.rss* on line *1*

The www directory is simply output.  You want the ~hobbit/data directory
for past logs and the ~hobbit/server/etc for configuration.

When you get an Internal Server Error do a tail /var/log/httpd/error_log
and post that here. 

I've no idea what bb2.rss is =/

Any idea on the parse error?

You guys haven't got multiple hosts reporting with the same client name
have
you?

I know what RSS is, but I've never heard of it relating to Hobbit.  Is
this something that Hobbit can do out of the box or an addon?
