When using ntopng in Centos 6.x and starting it from the command line I do
not get a log file, and in fact, get an error about the log being unable to
be created in Windows\Temp

Starting command:

/usr/local/bin/ntopng -i eth1 -e -n 3 -d /var/lib/ntopng -p
/var/lib/ntopng/ports.txt -U ntop -m 10.10.25.0/24

ls -al /var/lib |grpe ntopng

data_dir is getting defined (note no error about "Unable to locate data
dir") but it won't write a log.
