Hello All! I have the following setup for hobbit / xymon.:
Linux Fedora 9 and Hobbitserver 4.2.2-RC1
I was able to successfully install hobbit and it shows up in a browser with the configured hosts. the problem i am having is with viewing CURRENT status. Whenever i click the icon for status, i get a blank white page with "Status not Available". HISTORY functions however work.
I suspected it be a permission problem so I set all files to global 777 and even tried chown all of em to apache. Obviously this is in a test env but even with the completely wide open perm, still same issue.
The bb-hostcvs.sh returns status not available but nothing is written to the hobbit or apache log files that would give an idea as to why this is happening.
Does anybody have any ideas?
SELinux. Either apply the right contexts to the hobbit cgi files, or turn off SELinux protection for Apache, or (if you really can't be bothered with using SELinux correctly), turn it off.
(if you are interested in using SELinux correctly, install setroubleshoot, and tail it's log while you access the CGIs ...).
I previously sent the 2 or 3 SELinux commands required to make things work without disabling anything related to SELinux to the list ...
