Subject: ntop for redhat 7.1
As you suggest me i uninstall the ntop-1.3 version as it is old one.
My system is having an operating system redhat 7.1, so i cannot install the 2.0 BETA version because it is not supported
by 86 family.As i have uninstalled the old version,now you please tell me where i can find the ntop s/w and its source and all the related
files which are required for ntop,Along with it tell me the installation procedure also because during installation we have to
create the directories manually like /usr/local/var.

1. Throw away the v1.3 source RPM. It's old, different and nobody is interested in offering any support for it.2. The RPM version - you don't say where you got it or what version it is... You also don't give us information about your system. What OS, what version, etc. As to rpms of ntop, the only one I'm aware of is a 2.0 BETA version )I emailed Hal last week, but I don't think we resolved updating it). If it is that version, it's old and there have been a lot of changes in how ntop works. Especially regarding traffic classification.Down load a snapshot from http://snapshot.ntop.org. I recommend the one from 15 Feb 2002... http://snapshot.ntop.org/tgz/ntop-02-02-15.tgzUntar it and follow the directions in docs/BUILD-NTOP.txt After you've finished all the steps, run "make install" to install ntop in /usr/bin/ntop and /usr/share/ntop/xxxx-----Burton-----Original Message-----Hi Sir,

Your
basic assumption is WRONG. The 2.0BETA rpm is for x86 - that's why it ends
.i386.rpm. Just because rpmfind.net says it was built for a version of the
OS doesn't mean it won't work on other versions. There may be
dependencies, other packages that need to be updated, but it's not hard to
do.
In the
case of ntop, you will have to update a five or six other packages so that
your RedHat 7.1 machine has the right versions for the ntop rpm you download,
but that's always pretty straight forward. Heck, update enough packages
and your 7.1 install is really 7.2 (and will say so if you update that
package).
However, it's easy to build ntop from source. All of this is
CLEARLY spelled out and available from http://www.ntop.org and some FAQ entries
available under the documentation entry of http://snapshot.ntop.org/ All that
using the 2.0BETA rpm would get you would be a set of init.d scripts and
such pre-setup for you.
1.
Download the source - I'm recommending this version right now - it's been stable
for me: http://snapshot.ntop.org/tgz/ntop-02-02-15.tgz
2.
untar it
3.
look at the README, which points you to doc/ (it's really docs/, I have
submitted a patch to correct that).
4.
Look at the files in docs/ and see the one labeled
"BUILD-NTOP.txt"
READ IT
FOLLOW IT
At the
end, type make install and the ntop files will magically be created in all the
right places... (if you have the intop.1 problem - there is an FAQ entry
for that) Just about like every other program under
Linux.
