Configuration question
list Daniel Elswit
Hello. I'm attempting to set up Hobbit 4.2 on a Debian box (very clean - Hobbit is the only thing it's doing.) I followed all the directions - loaded the prerequisites, patched with the all-in-one patch, added the hobbit-specific lines into apache2.conf, etc. It compiled and installed just fine, and the service starts. But when I go to the http://localhost/hobbit page, I get a "404 not found" error. The apache2.conf file points to the ~hobbit/server/www directory but I don't see any html files there or in the subdirectory "html" under that. In the hobbitlaunch.log I see a number of "Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 6"... not sure if that's related. Any thoughts? I'm starting to run out of options to try. Thanks! --Dan ============================================= Daniel Elswit IT Security & Operations, College of Agriculture & Life Sciences Cornell University Ithaca, NY, USA user-8d00d2826ff5@xymon.invalid (XXX) XXX-XXXX http://www.cals.cornell.edu/cals/cals-it/

I ran into something similar when I set mine up on RedHat. Check the permissions of the hobbit home directory. Default is 700 on Redhat. I had to make it writeable for the group that apache runs under. Also, try adding a trailing "/" to your URL. Mike Wood UNIX System Administrator Kinetic Concepts, Inc.

I'm very positive the problem isn't related to permissions as it was a 404 error. You could look in /var/log/httpd/error_log to be certain, though.

Does the directory listing include index.html or bb.html? I don't recall if the symlink of index.html was created by me or Hobbit, but I have an index.html sylink'ed to bb.html. In apache2.conf what is your DirectoryIndex statement?

Earlier today I had a permissions problem, but I've since modified the permissions to allow both the hobbit user and www-data full access to the /usr/bin/hobbit tree (and it's world-readable/executable) and haven't seen new instances of permissions errors recently. Nothing has shown up recently in the bb-display.log. hobbitlaunch.log still has the "Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 6" errors. I'm assuming that bbgen generates the pages? If the hobbit user manually runs bbgen it just says "aborted". Not sure if that's normal. There is no bb.html on the entire system, and no index.html in anything related to hobbit. There is no DirectoryIndex statement in apache2.conf. --Dan

Two issues then - Hobbit isn't running as bb.html isn't being generated. Secondly DirectoryIndex has to be mentioned, as you have apach2.conf I'm sure it is debian - do a grep /etc/httpd/* -R DirectoryIndex

The page generator is bbgen, which is started up by the [bbdisplay] entry in server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg. It should log messages in bb-display.log in whichever directory the other Hobbit logs are stored. This is the thing that's causing the "Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 6" messages in the hobbitlaunch.log file. bbgen has a --debug option, which might give you a bit more information about why it crashes. Ralph Mitchell

So on the assumption that index.html is created by Hobbit and symlinked to bb.html your issue now is that bbgen isn't running. Did you install it from a package or from compilation? Does the ps stay alive or die when you call a start to the init script?

Strangely, bben -debug shows that it cooks right through the bb-hosts file and then after the last line, aborts with no further information. bbgen -version runs properly and shows the correct version. I'm beginning to wonder if the bbgen file itself is corrupted.

whichever directory the other Hobbit logs are stored. This is the thing
that's causing the "Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 6" messages in the
hobbitlaunch.log file.
bbgen has a --debug option, which might give you a bit more information
about why it crashes.

I did install this all from source, not a package. When I run the hobbit.sh script again the components restart and continue to live until I stop them, bbdisplay fails each time it tries to run.

So on the assumption that index.html is created by Hobbit and symlinked to
bb.html your issue now is that bbgen isn't running. Did you install it from
a package or from compilation? Does the ps stay alive or die when you call
a start to the init script?

Some parts of hobbit appear to be running when I look in the ps list, and
new entries periodically appear in the logs. But whatever part of it
generates the pages is failing.
The page generator is bbgen, which is started up by the [bbdisplay] entry in
server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg. It should log messages in bb-display.log in
whichever directory the other Hobbit logs are stored. This is the thing
that's causing the "Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 6" messages in the

OK. What I did to get that log was: stop hobbit, change the bbdisplay entry
in server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg to read:
CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report --debug
then I renamed the bb-display.log file and restarted hobbit. The log
fragment I posted came from the new bb-display.log during/after it read
through the bb-hosts file.
I guess you wouldn't need to stop/start Hobbit, as it's trying to launch
bbgen every minute...

Do you get anything after the "close connection"?? I get a bunch of
init_state(host,domain,com.test, -567484, ...)
find_or_create_column(test)
init_state: hostname=host.domain.com, testname=test, color=0......
one for each column for each host. What do yuo get from this command:

That's all on one line. It's what bbgen does immediately after logging
"load_state()"

OK. What I did to get that log was: stop hobbit, change the bbdisplay entry
in server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg to read:
CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report --debug
then I renamed the bb-display.log file and restarted hobbit. The log
fragment I posted came from the new bb-display.log during/after it read
through the bb-hosts file.
I guess you wouldn't need to stop/start Hobbit, as it's trying to launch
bbgen every minute...

Whew. finally got this working. I ended up recompiling everything from scratch and it worked perfectly the first time. I had already done that once, early on, but I guess the third time is the charm. Anyway, thanks everyone for all the very helpful information!
