Hobbit directory structure

I just installed Hobbit using yum on a new system, unfortunately I
already had my /home/hobbit structure from the previous system (which
crashed).  Well, it appears that yum installed Hobbit quite differently
than I had originally installed.

#--->Modify existing instead!

Still run under user hobbit?  If so, what directory structure is needed?
Anything else I might be missing?

Instead of trying to inspect everything one by one I strongly suggest just
blowing everything away (backing up your ~hobbit dir for recovery later) and
compiling it.

That's just my opinion =)

That's fine but I still need to incorporate the old settings and data
into the new setup.

It appears that I need to:

cp -ar /home/hobbit/data/hist/*        /var/lib/hobbit/data/hist
cp -ar /home/hobbit/data/histlogs/*    /var/lib/hobbit/data/histlogs
cp -ar /home/hobbit/data/rrd/*         /var/lib/hobbit/data/rrd
#----Copy configuration
cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/bb-hosts /etc/hobbit
cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg /etc/hobbit
cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg  /etc/hobbit
cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitpasswd      /etc/hobbit
#--->Modify existing instead!
#--->cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg  /etc/hobbit

Still run under user hobbit?  If so, what directory structure is needed?
Anything else I might be missing?

I just installed Hobbit using yum on a new system, unfortunately I
already had my /home/hobbit structure from the previous system (which
crashed).  Well, it appears that yum installed Hobbit quite differently

#--->Modify existing instead!
#--->cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg  /etc/hobbit

Yes, copy as above.

Still run under user hobbit?

Yes. But, the init script should take care of everything.

If so, what directory structure is needed? 
Anything else I might be missing?

Paths in (e.g.) hobbitserver.cfg ?
