building hobbit as standalone server on existing BB server
by tgeorgoulias＠nandomedia.com 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

I was considering setting up a standalone hobbit server for testing, but building that hobbit server on the same system as my BB server to ease the migration off of BB. Doing so would allow me to leverage all of my pre-built utilites like RRDtool & fping, use same userid as bb, etc., plus I can leave my old BB server in place until I'm ready to switch over. I want to make the jump from a non-bbgen BB to a full hobbit. First off, is this a good idea? I've been reading the install & migration docs and it seems like this could work, but I want to be sure my impressions are correct. I ran through the configure step using $BBHOME/hobbit as the hobbit install dir & bb as the userid and created a makefile. After the Makefile was created, I checked it out and the thing that scared me enough to post this message was the use of port 1984 by hobbit. That's going to conflict with my current BB server daemon and its normal operation, right? I've decided to hold off until I learn more. FWIW, I'm using beta5 plus the new patch. Many thanks, Tom
