Help with setting up BBD to work with BB client or BBWin
list Jason Hand
Hey Hobbit users! I am an old BB4 user from many years ago and discovered Hobbit and was excited to see the new features. I am however having no luck getting either the old BB client nor the BBWin client on a windows xp box to talk to Hobbit. Hobbit is running on Ubuntu 8.04 server and the BBD service check returns red on this host I have BB Client and BBWin installed on (yes I make sure only one is running at one time, but I put both on to test). It reports that the BBD service is unavailable: connection refused. I have turned off the windows firewall on this machine and don't have any other firewall running on this machine. In order to make sure that Hobbit is set up to talk to either BB client or BBWin what is the basics of the set up to the .cfg files? Thanks for any help! -Jason

Ok, I figured out how to use CLIENT: to set the alias to be the same as the alias in the BBclient. Now, I am still seeing the BBD test showing the same thing but all of the tests that I chose in the BBClient are now testing correctly. BBD is still red and even after I did a test to remove BBD from the test criteria on that host it is still showing and red. I saw that there was a way to tell it to drop that test but I don't see how to do it for one host. Almost there, just need a little help... Thanks, Jason

I got it. I had to use .\bb when I got to the clients folder where it was to execute it. Thanks.
