Two possibilities...

1. Did you follow the 1STRUN.txt instructions to set the password...  No??
Gee, that's in the comments on the RPM...

Description :
ntop is a network and traffic analyzer that provides a wealth of information
on
various networking hosts and protocols. ntop is primarily accessed via a
built-in
web interface. Optionally, data may be stored into a database for analysis
or
extracted from the web server in formats suitable for manipulation in perl
or php.

Note that the command line version, intop, is largely unsupported.

See docs/1STRUN.txt for the 1st time startup procedure!


2. It looks like it's running -w 0 (i.e. disabled).  Try running with -w
3000


Since the ntop.pem distributed with the software is self-signed, it's often
not appropriate for use, so it's not installed by default.  See
docs/README.SSL


If the docs aren't clear enough or helpful, then contribute to the effort by
re-writing or expanding them.

Subject: [Ntop] Ntop RPM install


Ok call me lazy, I installed ntop rc2 from the RPM's at sourceforge.  My
probleme is that it did not start the embedded http service.  I tried many
times

I started it correctly with -w 3000 swithc but it did not start. Then I
enabled also the SSL with '-W 3443'. And there it mumbled me something the
ntop certificate... Right!  how many howtos I need to read to make it start
correctly ?

correct me if I am wrong but if the ssl doesn't start the normal http
service should however start doesn't it ?
I remembered having it installed before from source and had none of these
problems

Any help would be greatly appreciated !
