Hi,

New to the list here and new to Hobbit so sorry about the naïve nature of the request.

I've just installed Hobbit 4.2 and am running insto some errors in the Web interface.  Most pages seem to load fine but when I select "views" and "critical systems" I'm presented with this error.  I get a similar error in Firefox.


I've attched a screenshot, but it says "IE cannot download hobbit-nkview.sh from localhost"

I wasn't able to find very descriptive logs.  Only apache reports a 500 error

Do y'all have any suggestions?  Thanks a lot.

There is some required Apache setup to allow the Hobbit CGI scripts to run correctly.  Look in the etc directory on your Hobbit server.  But the problem may be related to the fact that IE is trying to run on "localhost" (the machine with the browser) instead of the display host?  Are you doing some sort of virtual machine tricks?

Yes I am doing some tricks - I should have mentioned it. 
My test environment requires that I ssh tunnel through my localhost to the remote machine on the defined network port.  I can see how this is foiling the cgi's.

I thought I was having apache/cgi problems.

I'll see what I can do about improving accessibility in my test environment.

Thanks much.

Greg,

I tried another test that allows me to connect directly to the display host without using a tunnel.

I get the the same error, but with this browser it's a bit more descriptive - "The file hobbit-nkview.sh" is of type application/x-sh, and Mozilla does not know how to handle this file type.  The file is lcoated at: http://hostname:1000

What should Mozilla do with this file?"

It seems that Apache is trying to send the .sh file instead of executing it and forwarding the output.

This does seem like an Apache config issue but I've made the changes suggested in the installation.

Can you give me any other hints?  Thanks.

"http://hostname:1000"; doesn't look right, there must be something more

Check your Apache setup for the ScriptAlias settings. The results you
get indicate that the directory with the hobbit-nkview.sh is considered
a normal document directory by Apache, instead of a script (CGI)
directory.

Here are the ScriptAlias settings from httpd.conf.  They seem ok to me -
I can't see what might be wrong with them.

This directory: /home/s-hob1/hobbit/cgi-bin/ is where the nkview.sh
script lives that it is complaining about.  The driectory is
ScriptAliased below in the 2nd stanza.

I am restarting Apache after a change to httpd.conf.

I am running Apache on port 10001.  In my previos email I mentioned port
1000 but meant 10001.

Again the error occurs when I select "Critical Systems" from the views
prompt.

Does the ScriptAlias directive look correct?  Are there log files I can
look at to get more detailed info?  I'm not getting much out of the
Apache logs and I can't find hobbit logs.

Thanks much.

I'm getting a segmentation fault when running the hobbit-nkview.sh
script.

I looked at the file that hobbit is generating when I select the
"Critical Systems" file menu option.

This is the content.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>500 Internal Server Error</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Internal Server Error</h1>
<p>The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete
your request.</p>
<p>Please contact the server administrator,
 user-c9dc537f1ffb@xymon.invalid and inform them of

This si the error in Apache:

[Mon Dec 11 16:42:42 2006] [error] [client 10.11.14.60] Premature end of
script headers: hobbit-nkview.sh, referer:
http://localhost:10001/s-hob-cgi/bb-eventlog.sh


When I try to execute the cgi script from the command line I get a
segmentation fault:

[s-hob1 at saomb60 cgi-bin]$
/home/s-hob1/hobbit/server/bin/hobbit-nkview.cgi
Content-type: text/html

Segmentation fault
[s-hob1 at saomb60 cgi-bin]$

I did a standard compile under RedHat on a Compaq DL380 server.  I don't
know what else I can do to resolve this.

Any Ideas?  Thanks.
