I got an account on a new virtual host (debian 3.1 on virtuozzo), and dropped in a tar of my hobbit dir. I figured I could just edit bb-hosts and be up and running in minutes. Hours later, I'm still not up.
OK, so I was missing fping, and rrdtool. Hobbit did not like the older rrdtool 1.X under debian stable, so I switch to testing, upgraded, and recompiled and reinstalled hobbit. It's still not working, even with a simplified bb-hosts.
hobbit runs, but the webpage output is devoid of any host data. I can't figure out what else could be wrong, this should have been a very simple port.
Logs show:
