Status Not Available Resolution
list Joe Shmow
For anyone who is interested...heres what i ended up doing for it to finally work... Installed VM Fedora 7.... Disabled the Firewall, SELinux, and Killed the IPTables (/etc/init.d/iptables stop) Yum Installed the following: RRDTool, RRDTool-Devel, OpenSSL-Devel, OpenLDAP-Devel, PCRE-Devel, Fping (although i didnt use it), and what seemed to fix everything was LIBPNG-DEVEL....!!! Not sure y,..but... I then was able to do a clean ./Configure of Xymon/Hobbit and installed it into /usr/local/xymon using the xymon user account and then GMAKED!! only when i ran gmake instead of make did it work in the end..once again, not sure y....then ran GMAKE INSTALL....instead of make install... Configured the apache file, started httpd, and then started hobbitd WITHOUT making any cfg changes...Worked like a charm...NO data was avaiulable rigt away but aftre 2 min, the client (bb server) appeared and clicking on the STATUS actually works now... Woo hoo for me..:)

It was probably the SELinux ...

Without libpng-devel, your compilation would not have succeeded.

On almost every Linux distribution, GNU make is installed as 'make'. It's mostly proprietary Unix that has a broken make, and installs GNU make as gmake

/me notes that 'urpmi hobbit;service hobbit start' is all that is required to get Hobbit working on Mandriva ... BTW, my packages for RHEL5 would probably have worked just fine for you with much less effort ....

I would probably agree that SELinux was the culprit. I was able to compile hobbit before when LIBPNG-DEVEL was not installed but it probably had errors i ddint see but wasnt extreme enough to halt the process. It is installed, and i couldnt have asked for more...Great app. Im sure I will be ehre again asking you gurus about some other stupid newbie crap. Thanks for all your input!

Just for future reference, when you turned off the firewall you either stopped iptables (for good) or cleared out all of the rules. There was no need to issue a stop to iptables after disabling the firewall.

I thought so too, but after disabling the firewall i was still unable to access apache (80) from within my host windows machine...I was able to access apache locally from within the VM however. Upon stopping iptables, port 80 was now available to my host...I didnt dive into why but i know i was scratching my head for almost an hour....

You'll want to "chkconfig iptables off", or fix your iptables rules to trust port 80 inbound, or the problem will repeat when you reboot. Assuming you just did "service iptables stop" or the equivalent. "iptables-save" will dump your iptables to stdout. You're probably missing a rule like: -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT before the default REJECT. On Fedora 9 you can fix it with the system-config-firewall gui if you don't want to learn about the rule syntax, ordering, and flow.
