I deleted all the rrds, and they did start rebuilding as you said. I still let
it run via “/etc/init.d/ntop restart” as user ntop.
/usr/sbin/ntop -d -L -u ntop -P /var/lib/ntop --access-log-file
/var/log/ntop/access.log -i eth0 -p /etc/ntop/protocol.list -O /var/log/ntop
There don’t seem to be any new errors. ☺
The rrd-statistics page seems to report that things are collecting, and no
errors:
RRD Statistics
Item Count
––––––––––––––––– ––––––––
Cycles 13
Files Updated 1047
Update Errors 0
Graphic Requests 206
But now I’m a bit confused about where I would see the rrd graphs – Something
like at:
http://nst.sourceforge.net/nst/docs/user/ch03s11.html
Thanks for all the help; not sure what was wrong, perhaps all is well now?!
Fingers crossed.

I'm quite sure that there is nothing wrong with you're ntop version, the
file's permissions that you listed led me to think that the problem lies there.
Have you tried to remove all the rrds? Move them somewhere else and start ntop
again the way you're used to.
The way you've tried ntop starts as user ntop, doing so it will not allow ntop
instance to read all the RRDS files as I would want you to. If ntop runs as
root user without problem then all you have to do is reset all the files in
your ntop user directory to assign read and write permission to the user ntop
(ALL of them).
Allright, I'm not confident with debian repository version of ntop but try this:
open up a console
su root
insert password
ntop -P /usr/local/share/ntop/ -u root
This way you're not starting ntop as a deamon try it and tell me what happened.
As Luca told you there is a lot of improvements in the latest version, you can
still check it out, download it, compile it, and run it from the compile folder
to try it!
