Hi all!
I just notice that the hobbit logs from my debug hobbbit server are being rotated every week (I think) but I don't remember if I've done something for it. And yet the hobbit logs from my new hobbit server are not rotating. Is the rotation of the hobbit logs is automatic? or do I need to initialize it?
Thanks and regards,
Ryan
I'm in the process of migrating to a new hobbit server and have run into one of those 'interesting' problems.
This system also runs cricket (http://cricket.sourceforge.net <http://cricket.sourceforge.net/> ) for network switch monitoring, so I started to move it yesterday.
The entire cricket menu is generated by a perl cgi script called 'grapher.cgi'. I've got ported; running it by hand generates a valid html file.
Under IE 7.0 I get the cricket menu.
Firefox downloads the script. On the old server, firefox runs the script just fine.
The hobbit cgi scripts are working correctly on the new system (both firefox and IE).
Suggestions?
The web server is Apache2 on SuSE Enterprise Linux 10.
TIA

I come across this many times with users installing PHP on their Apache server. This is most definitely a problem between Apache and Firefox.
If IE7's request is executing it then Firefox's request should be no different - though you can do advanced options based on different client types.
Try comparing the two Apache configuration files and see if there are differences in your Directory statements.

AFIK hobbit logs are not automatically rotated unless you tel the OS to do it.
Which OS?
Steve.

Correct, the hobbit logs are not rotated automatically. For linux, I have attached the logrotate.d file we use; modify the rotation intervals that suit you.

So, to sum up, you need /etc/cron.daily/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf /etc/logrotate.d/hobbit all set up to have your hobbit logs rotated. Anything you're not sure of, look at those on the server where the logs are getting rotated now.
So, All i need is to put the script in the /etc/logrotate.d/, is this right? I really don't understand. I checked my old hobbit server and the /etc/logrotate.d/hobbit is already existing. And, I'm sure I didn't configure that before, because I don't know how.
Thanks

You said you used a different package to install the old server. It probably dropped in the logrotate.d/hobbit config file for you, and the one you used this time didn't.
My point was that you need a cron job (/etc/cron.daily/logrotate), and a logrotate config file (/etc/logrotate.conf) for logrotate to be running and "see" the logrotate.d/hobbit config. I think FC6 does set that up by default (see if you have /var/log/messages.1, etc, if so logrotate is running). Drop the logrotate.d/hobbit file in, and see if it starts rotating. If not, look at the other two files.

Yes, FC6 has a default setup for log rotation. Other logs inside the /var/log/ directory are rotating. So, I think it will work now for the Hobbit logs. Maybe your right that the package I used before had set that up for me, and the package that I used for my new Hobbit server did not. Thanks for your help!
