I have just installed the hobbit server 4.1.2 on openbsd 3.8-sparc64. I used gmake to make everything and when I get everything installed and go to start the little devil, I get:

Very odd. It's been a very long time since I've heard any problems with hobbitlaunch (which is the utility that starts first).

If you look inside the hobbit.sh script you'll find the command that invokes hobbitlaunch - something like (wrapped for readability):

/var/www/htdocs/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitlaunch 
--config=/var/www/htdocs/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg
--env=/var/www/htdocs/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg 
--log=/var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.log
--pidfile=/var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.pid

What happens if you run that command by hand, while you're logged in as the "hobbit" user ? Do the files refered to in the --config and --env options really exist ? Is the logfile directory writable by the user that runs Hobbit ?

(BTW, I'd really advise against having the entire Hobbit installation inside your publicly-available Apache webroot. Much better to configure your webserver to publicize only the Hobbit web-directory; there is a sample Apache configuration in Hobbit's server/etc/ directory).
