Burton,
Thanks for the info I was able to fire up the beast fired up :D However I still have a few problems..
I ran command
#ntop -dw a.b.c.d:3000
woo hoo it works! The problem with this is it's not using the config file at all, it's running out of /var/db/ntop as nobody when it should be running from /usr/local/ntop as ntop. Also when I log into a.b.c.d:3000 it doesn't prompt for a user or password so anyone can view the stats. When I try to run
# sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntop.sh start
it acts like it works however
#ps -aux
does not list ntop. Not sure what I am missing but I do feel a lot closer :D

Normally, I'd suggest you contact the idiot who provided the ntop-3.0-freebsdports.tgz file, except that it's me. And that's EXACTLY what I use on Owl, my development test box under both 4.9 and 5.2... So I know it works...
So...
Assuming you don't have a fancy -w option, ntop should bind to all available IPs on port 3000. -w 3000 means port 3000 on all interfaces, -w a.b.c.d:3000 would be port 3000 on ONLY ip a.b.c.d
I would:
1. Use ps to make sure the base ntop process is still running.
2. Read through the log file and see if there are any startup error messages. There's a lot of stuff in here about the entire process. You may want to add -t 4 to see it all.
3. Use netstat -a to check if ntop is bound to port 3000
4. Try another browser.
5. Make sure you are sending a legal request - ntop checks the input pretty aggressively and if you send an illegal request will lock you out for approx 5 minutes.

I am currently not able to connect via the web browser to the site on port 3000. Here is the steps I followed.
I download ntop for freebsd from sourceforge.net/projects/ntop/
ntop-3.0-freebsdports.tgz <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ntop/ntop-3.0-freebsdports.tgz ?download>
and installed with the normal commands
# make # make install
once I was done I ran the configure options
# /usr/local/bin/ntop @/usr/local/etc/ntop/ntop.conf -A
setup my password
Then copied my config file over to the correct dir. The only changes I made to the config file was the network device and changed the directory for the files
--interface fxp0 --db-file-path /usr/local/ntop
I then ran command
#chown ntop /usr/local/ntop
after that I ran command
# sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntop.sh start
and it fired up with no errors.
I then tried to access via the browser and no luck. I get the following error from mozilla "The connection was refused when attempting to contact domain.com:3000."
The box I installed ntop on has several IP's bound to network card and I has several different domains pointing to the box. I have tried every IP:3000, and domain.com:3000 to access and no luck. I am not sure if I am missing anything on this?
Thanks for taking your time to read through this, any help is appreciated :D
