It's been a while since I've even installed the BB server, so I'm a
little rusty. I followed the directions, ran ./configure, make install,
configured Apache, put stuff in bb-hosts, and was ready to start it. I
ran ./server/starthobbit.sh and nothing happened. No feedback, no hobbit
processes... What did I miss? 

P.S. While I am running a BB server, this is on an entirely separate
Gentoo machine. If I can get it to work, eventually I will make it a
BBRELAY, so the BB clients can report to it. But first, I must make the
standalone server work.

Should be 

./server/starthobbit.sh start

If you run it without an argument nothing happens.

Right :) wow, brain lapse. Thanks. I started it, the main page
populated, then I did ./starthobbit.sh restart and everything is blank
again. Is this normal behavior?

It shouldn't be - restarting should just pick up where the old
one left off. But: I know there is a race condition when shutting
down Hobbit, so restarting could fail in beta-5; "stop", wait
a few seconds, "start" does work.

*sigh* I have angered the Hobbit diety and even stopping it and starting
will not populate the page any longer. It says "Current Status" and
there is no list of machines. Bb-hosts looks fine though. Not sure what
else it could be.

Ok heres the specifics. I would think I did something completely wrong
except that it worked for about 5 minutes. Apache is definitely running,
as the page loads, but displays no machines. 

I didn't change anything, but I restarted it, and it's not listening on
1984 anymore it seems.  netstat -anp | grep LISTEN doesn't show it.

Do you have the latest patch installed?  This was the behavior that mine
exhibited before I recompiled w/ the patch.
