(It could be that the files I referenced are new with 2.0.) But with 2.0 out, support for 1.3 is quite limited. Unless somebody else jumps in, I've never used it, have zero knowledge of 1.3, etc...
I would guess (only a guess) that the relevant directory is "/opt/ntop-1.3.1/plugins" - did you check permissions on it? To the best of my knowledge there is no RedHat RPM yet for 2.0. Not having access to the plugins directory shouldn't kill NTop (at least v2). You might try running it directly from the command like (steal the command from the script, but remove the -d (daemon) prompt - you should then see all the messages on the console). ==== Best bet would be to download the source and configure 2.0. It's a lot more advanced and reported more stable, anyway... You should have or find RPMs for gdbm and libpcap (try rpmfind.net if it's not on your RedHat CDs - and these may already be installed - libpcap, for example, if you selected the tcpdump package). There are 3 or 4 packages tha may or may not already be installed on your system. To avoid versioning problems, the NTop tarball has all of them in specific directories. So it's not (quite) a standard source install. Follow the instructions in docs/BUILD-NTOP.txt. Once it's installed, updating the old RedHat script (I'm guessing it's /etc/rc.d/init.d/ntop) should be straight forward... -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Sim, CT (Chee Tong) Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 8:17 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Ntop] why ntop not working-> plugins/ directory missing. Hi.. I can find plugins directory in the following directory, but when I run the ntop it still giving me "Unable to find the plugins/ directory" why?? Besides, I could not find LsWatch.db, dnsCache.db, hostsInfo.db and ntop.access.log that you told me. What should I do? Can I recommend me which side should I download the proper package for REDHAT linux 7.0??
