I have a number of Soalris 2.5.1 machines on which I have deployed an older
version oif ntop, which was provided by a helpfil listmember as a tarball.
These are all collecting quite useful data, but I need to upgrade to a more
current version of ntop. For one reason being that microsloth's browser
seems to crash the version I am runing, which is also to old to have the
"preserve data over restart option". so I loose historical data everytime
someone tries to look at it with thta browser.
Now thnaks to another helpful listmemebr I have managed to comile a version
based upon a snapshot from a few days agao.
Now, I would like to test this new version _before_installing it, since to
instal it I will have to manually remove all the files created by the
tarball. I don;t want to do this untill I;m certain I;m happy withe the new
version.
The first thing I tried was a simple "./ntop -w 4000 -u nobody" from the
new ntop build direcotry. This gave me a server on prt 400 that I could
connect to, but not much more, since the choices that should have been in
the left frame of the resultant page were not present.
So, how can I run ntop from the build direcotry without having to install
it, and get it to function?
Or would I be better of building the new one to install in someplace new
(the exisitn one is in /usr/local). Can I use --prefix /opt/ntop or some
such to build the new one? If so where in the build process do I do this?
./configure in the ~/ntop direcotry?
Thanks for help on this.
