The files at url http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/manpages/man1/ 
probably have the wrong permissions as they don't seem to be accessible.

Cheers,

Looks like it's the old cgi in filename bug, where the webserver thinks
it's a cgi file and won't execute it.

All the manpages are accessable here

Seems Sourceforge has the same problem with files called "x.cgi.y" as
lots of other sites. In other words, it's not a file permission problem,
but an Apache setup problem.

You'll find them on-line at http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/

Would you ever consider renaming the files so standard Apache servers
can deliver them?

See hobbit-4.2.0/docs/hobbit-apacheconf.txt or
/etc/httpd/conf.d/hobbit-apache.conf in the RPM.

Add to the following section in your apache config:
<Directory "/path/to/hobbit/server/www">
    RemoveHandler .cgi

Hey Mike, do you think we can get Sourceforge to do that for us?  ;)

I like to suggest in the future version hobbit, the configure and makefile 
should be design
to generate server,client and proxy binaries into different paths.

Example like following,

/opt/hobbit-server
      bin
      doc
      man
      etc
/opt/hobbit-client
     bin
     man
     doc
/opt/hobbit-proxy
     bin
     man
     doc

This will help software packagers  to create packages for different OS 
platforms.

Maybe we could ask Henrik to add a .htaccess file with "RemoveHandler
.cgi" to the docs dir on SourceForge?

I already separate hobbit and hobbit-client in the RPMS for Mandriva (which I rebuild for RHEL also). The only problem is that you may end up with duplicate binaries (eg bb). What I have done in this case is made hobbit depend on hobbit-client, so I can avoid duplicates.

I'll see if I can get this done in the make file instead of the spec file.

Buchan

Fantastic, I didn't know you could do that in a .htaccess file.

Thanks Mike, the man-pages are working now.

I think this is just the kind of work that software packagers should do.
If you need an example, just look at the debian- and rpm-build scripts
included with the Hobbit source - they generate separate server- and
client-packages, and splitting out the proxy installation into a
separate package would be easy.

Henrik

I hope this paths serperation can be done in ./configure script(although not autoconf's ./configure)
When "./configure --server" got specified, a makefile should be generated to compile
and installed into a relative path for server binary only. the tight to "hobbit" as root (/opt/hobbit,/usr/hobbit) for server package very restrictive, and "./configure --server" also
gernating client binaries at same time is confusing.
