ACTUALLY, First off ... Get something current... 1. ntop 2.2 is more than 2 years old. 2. RedHat 7.3 is unsupported. By us OR RedHat.
Then think carefully about Nick's comment - he is dead on... Note that with current ntop (3.1), there are a few reports of problems w/ RedHat 8.0, which I've traced - on my box - to differences between pthreads and NPTL (9+) and so might affect 7.x too. BUT lots of folks are using old RedHat releases just fine... (that's often true w/ threading issues - don't you just love it!). -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nick Weaver Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2005 11:32 PM To: [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Ntop] ntop and rrd graphics on Red Hat 7.3 For starters....I would try and get a different box. NTOP can be resource intensive, and you probalby don't want to kill a box that is Mail, Web, and Proxy for your company. Then you can play around to figure out how to make it work without fear of breaking a required box. Also, you will find that running too much with NTOP is a bad thing. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Mario Maradiaga Sent: Wed 1/19/2005 10:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Ntop] ntop and rrd graphics on Red Hat 7.3 Hey everyone, I need some serious help, I'm kinda of linux noob and an ntop noob. I installed ntop ver.2.2 on an Redhat 7.3 box that we use as a Web, Mail and Proxy server. At first the problem I had is that every time the rrd plugin tried to start it said it couldn't create the /var/top/rrd directory, so after downloading the rrdtool and getting nowhere I went a head and created the directories manually, that is the : /var/ntop/rrd /var/ntop/rrd/flows /var/ntop/rrd/interfaces /var/ntop/rrd/graphics Gave them the respective user rights and voila the plugin now ran ok. Now I get an error that has to do with the libpng library it says something like this: program was compiled using the png.h on package libpng-1.2.4 program using the png.c file on installed package libpng-1.0.2 The something about incompatibility because of this and a fatal error, and then ntop shuts down. I've tried to look for an rpm package that lets me upgrade the libpng library but haven't succeeded. I compiled a libpng-1.2.8rc5 but I don't know how to make it work, because it still detects the old libpng-1.0.2. Like I said I'm new to this and my boss just said make it work, I'd appreciate any help I can from any good soul out there that has compasion for nooobs. If anyone can tell a surefire way to get it up and running with the graphics please help me out.
