Gday Ronald, I'm running svn: 3627 and I also received the same error messages: Error Opening file ./GeoLiteCity.dat Error Opening file /usr/local/etc/ntop/GeoLiteCity.dat Error Opening file /usr/local/etc/ntop/GeoLiteCity.dat Error Opening file /etc/GeoLiteCity.dat Sat Nov 22 13:53:42 2008 **ERROR** GeoIP: unable to load file GeoLiteCity.dat Error Opening file ./GeoIPASNum.dat Error Opening file /usr/local/etc/ntop/GeoIPASNum.dat Error Opening file /usr/local/etc/ntop/GeoIPASNum.dat Error Opening file /etc/GeoIPASNum.dat Sat Nov 22 13:53:42 2008 **ERROR** GeoIP: unable to load ASN file GeoIPASNum.dat Sat Nov 22 13:53:42 2008 Database support not compiled into ntop ^^ I wonder why the error messages don't mention the GeoIP.dat file.
BTW with svn 3627 I noticed that the GeoIP data sets were downloaded automatically during the make stage. I think the error is caused by leaving the GeoIP data sets in the compile directory i.e. they were not installed: ntop-revision3627/ntop/GeoIPASNum.dat ntop-revision3627/ntop/GeoLiteCity.dat ntop-revision3627/ntop/GeoIP-1.4.5/data/GeoIP.dat ^^ Copying these 3 files into /usr/local/etc/ntop/ reduces the error messages down to: Error Opening file ./GeoLiteCity.dat Sat Nov 22 14:12:11 2008 GeoIP: loaded config file /usr/local/etc/ntop/GeoLiteCity.dat Error Opening file ./GeoIPASNum.dat Sat Nov 22 14:12:11 2008 GeoIP: loaded ASN config file /usr/local/etc/ntop/GeoIPASNum.dat Sat Nov 22 14:12:11 2008 Database support not compiled into ntop ^^ Again no mention of the GeoIP.dat file. I hope this helps you with some of your problems. Hooroo. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ronald W.
