Don't know if it will help, but the last time I had this problem, the fix was completely stop hobbit, make sure all of the processes are gone, and run /usr/bin/ipcs. I had a bunch of shared memory segments that were hung, that I was able to remove using /usr/bin/ipcrm. Note the user in the ipcs output - do not remove segments belong to other users or you may break some other application you have running (I did that too) :-)

If this does not help, you may need to edit your /etc/sysctl.conf and increase your shared memory.

Henrik,

In the other logfiles I have nothing. Hobbitlaunch.log is the only one getting any data.

Hobbit user is owner of both /var/log/hobbit and everything under /usr/local/hobbit/.

And when I run the bbcmd command you suggested, I get this:

bash-2.03$ /usr/local/hobbit/server/bin/bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=stachg hobbitd_history 2006-06-28 15:15:16 Using default environment file /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg 2006-06-28 15:15:16 Could not get shm of size 262144: No such file or directory 2006-06-28 15:15:16 Channel not available

Looks like still more shared memory problems?

Regards,

Thanks Henrik, I was able to delete the stale shared memory segments and start hobbit. Still getting some errors in hobbitlaunch.log

I assume these are not normal? Hobbitd is running, but no web pages

are

being generated.

It's definitely not normal.

What's in the other logfiles besides hobbitlaunch.log ?

Does you "hobbit" user have write access to the logfile directory and the ~hobbit/server/www/ directory ?

What happens if you login as the hobbit user, then run ./server/bin/bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=stachg hobbitd_history
