Does this mean that I should forget that this doesn't work for me? I'm reinstalling hobbit again and again. As I wrote before when I shut down Apache the tests, that I wanted to disable hours ago, suddenly are disabled when I start Apache again.

I've seen your report about this, but haven't had much time to follow up on it.

When exactly does the system "hang" as you describe - when you click the "Apply" button on the disable form ? Or before the form ever appears ?

Does it hang also if you use the disable function from the "info" column page ?

If you do a "ps" listing of the processes spawned by Apache, is there a "hobbit-enadis" CGI running when this happens ? If there is, could you add "--debug" to the hobbit-enadis.cgi command in ~/cgi-secure/hobbit-enadis.sh and let me know what that reports when you hit the "Apply" button ?

Also, you can try killing the hobbit-enadis process when it hangs with a "kill -6 PID" - that should make it core-dump, although I'm not quite sure where this core file ends up since it runs as a CGI script. You may have to add a "cd /tmp" in the hobbit-enadis.sh CGI wrapper to get it to core-dump in /tmp. If you find such a dump, it would be interesting if you could get the stacktrace:

$ gdb hobbit/server/bin/hobbit-enadis.cgi /tmp/core
...
gdb> bt
