This file is for Apache 1.3.x and Apache 2.0.x

Add this to your Apache configuration, it makes
the Hobbit webpages and cgi-scripts available in the
"/hobbit" and "/hobbit-cgi" URLs.
NB: The "Alias" line below must NOT be used if you have
the Hobbit webfiles as the root URL. In that case,
you should instead set this:

DocumentRoot /var/lib/hobbit/www
Alias /hobbit/ "/var/lib/hobbit/www/"
<Directory "/var/lib/hobbit/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /hobbit-cgi/ "/usr/lib/hobbit/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/usr/lib/hobbit/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /hobbit-seccgi/ "/usr/lib/hobbit/cgi-secure/"
<Directory "/usr/lib/hobbit/cgi-secure">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Password file where users with access to these scripts are kept.
Create it with "htpasswd -c /etc/hobbit/hobbitpasswd USERNAME"
Add more users / change passwords with "htpasswd /etc/hobbit/hobbitpasswd USERNAME"

You can also use a group file to restrict admin access to members of a
group, instead of anyone who is logged in. In that case you must setup
the "hobbitgroups" file, and change the "Require" settings to require
a specific group membership. See the Apache docs for more details.
AuthUserFile /etc/hobbit/hobbitpasswd
AuthGroupFile /etc/hobbit/hobbitgroups
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Hobbit Administration"
"valid-user" restricts access to anyone who is logged in.
Require valid-user
"group admins" restricts access to users who have logged in, AND
are members of the "admins" group in hobbitgroups.
Require group admins
</Directory>
What do I do wrong????

Hi All,

How do I compile the snapshot and install it on CentOs 5 or Debian R4?
I get RRDTool error when trying to install the snapshot, but the tool

What version of RRDTool is needed for Hobbit 4.3??? and what do i need
for installation on Debian R4?
Many thanks...
