Ok I built and installed the cvs version.
I have not confirmed the two of the troublesome switches are -d and -L. That is if I use -d or -L alone, or together the web interface runs, but does not want to capture packets. This is true for the long versions of these options.
However I can use options like -i eth0,eth1 or -u ntop
eg ntop -i eth0,eth1 -u ntop
Now here is something interesting. When I use the -t 5 option for more logging the web interface does not come up at all with -d and/or -L. However it still works fine without those options.
Does anyone know what -d and/or -L does that creates such different behaviour?

That sounds like a problem I was having but on RH7.3 (I think it was). When I had the problem it was when I used it in daemon mode (-d). Try it without the -d and see if it solves the problem. If so, I think Burton patched it in the current development version. Try a CVS fetch and build it your self to see if it goes away.
Directions for CVS here: http://www.ntop.org/download.html
You may have to add the word "export" to your CVSROOT command like so:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/export/home/ntop

Hi,
I am running ntop 3.1 on a RHEL3 (Whitebox) system. I have installed using pre-compiled binaries from Dag Wiers site, as well as rebuilding the RPM myself and installing that. I have not tried the tar ball. Kernel 2.4.21-15.0.3.EL The underlying hardware is a Via EPIA M6000 with a added tulip based ethernet card
The problem I am having is that ntop only seems to properly capture packets if I do not give it any command line options.
If I run ntop plain as root it starts up and listens to the default port 3000. I connect and get graphs for all the current data. If I run ntop with a switch the interface still comes up but the interface reports no packets captured.
eg. ntop -d or ntop -d -L or using /etc/ntop.conf
Does anyone know what might be causing this issue?
The other thing I noticed is that when I hit crtl-c to stop the plain command line ntop I often got a segfault when it closed. Not sure if that is normal.
Also is there an archive for this list?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Terrence
