I just migrated my BB install to hobbit. Notcing one huge problem. On safari and firefox whenever I click any of the links that use any of the cgi's its trying to download that shell script instead of executing it. In my httpd.conf I have the dir
that has the hobbit-cgi stuff marked as ExecCGI. I'm stumped. 

ideas?

Sorry about that.. Got two more (probably dumb questions) 
The bbgen test is showing up yellow on my bb-server and its saying it can't open the event log. I don't see anything in the docs about where its attemping to write. 
Also is there any advantage to using the hobbit client versus using the bb client?

This usually happens only upon the first startup of Hobbit, then
the file is automatically created and the error goes away.

It's the "allevents" file located in the $BBHIST directory - i.e.
~hobbit/data/hist/allevents for a standard install.

They are different. 
The BB client stores the configuration locally on each client, whereas Hobbit uses a central configuration file kept on the Hobbit server.

The BB client generates the client status columns on the client, and
sends only the data it knows about to the server.  The Hobbit client reports "raw" data to the Hobbit server and makes these available to
the admin, besides generating the normal cpu/disk/procs etc. status
colunms.

The BB client runs multiple "bbrun" processes. The Hobbit client
only have one "hobbitlaunch" process running.

The BB client support logfile checking, the Hobbit client does not currently report anything for the "msgs" column.

Although, I'm not using a Mac, Firefox works perfectly for me. It could
be a problem with your browsers filetype and handling. Try reinstalling
firefox.
