Well, maybe u're right, but i didnt solved. Because i reinstalled (from
binary) ntop, reconfigured etc.. When i run it for the first time i've not
problems. But if i stop it with CTRL+C, everytime i restart ntop i have the
same problem (ERROR unable to socket .......).

any ideas to solve it?

> Ps -ef : grep ntop. Kill whatever ntop process is already running.
