Luca, I have tried the -P argument as well, yet as a brand new user, I have no idea what to supply for the directory.

In the config file it is listed as:

--db-file-path /opt/local/var/ntop

Do I need to remove the leading minus signs?

Grazie,
- Alex

Can someone please tell me how to launch ntop so that it doesn't
immediately quit? Or at least refer me to some user documentation?

Thanks,
