Goodmorning all,

I've just installed hobbit for about the 20th time. The former 19
tries were all succesfull. This time however, I have a problem with
the webpages.

The machine is a CentOS 5.1 machine, running Apache 2.2.3 (from
standard repo). I've installed the RPM, but also tried compiling,
Hobbit. The monitor itself works, it generates pages fine.
The problem happens when I click one of the icons, for example the one
that leads to http://hostname/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=hostname&SERVICE=bbtest.
My browser wants to download the file, instead of displaying it. I've
copied the hobbit-apache.conf from the installdirectory directly into
the apache conf.d directory. I can't find anything in that file
related to this problem.

Any help is much appreciated!

Sounds like apache doesn't know that's a cgi-bin directory - check
your apache configuration (and restart it once you've corrected it).

Is Selinux enabled? If so, you need to run something like this:

chcon -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t ~hobbit/cgi-bin/*
chcon -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t ~hobbit/cgi-secure/*
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_script_ro_t /var/lib/hobbit/rrd/


(I used my own packages, and ran exactly this:
chcon -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t /usr/lib/hobbit/cgi-bin/*
chcon -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t /usr/lib/hobbit/cgi-secure/*
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_script_ro_t /var/lib/hobbit/rrd/
)
