Your message to ntop or ntop-dev has been seen.
However,
you have:
* neglected to provide important
information
- using the built-in problem report form is
STRONGLY suggested.
* appear not to have taken advantage of existing
information
or
* haven't taken other steps we ask you to do
when posting to the
mailing list
Hence this
semi-automated response.
Posting guidelines are in the docs/FAQ file in
the source tree, and
(although perhaps not the latest copy) in the "HOWTO ask
for help"
item at http://snapshot.ntop.org and
at http://www.ntopsupport.com
in the
documentation section.
1. ONE and only ONE problem / issue / question per
message.
With a meaningful
subject.
The goal is that if you're asking a
common question, the
subject would have allowed you
to find it in the back
traffic for the mailing
list.
2. Search the back traffic on these lists. There is a
searchable archive
at http://search.gmane.org
3. Read the docs/FAQ file in the source. You should get a recent
version, not one
from some old source .tgz. As a last
resort, a HTMLed version is posted in the
documentation section
of http://www.ntopsupport.com.
4. Check
snapshot, http://snapshot.ntop.org - this is a community
FAQ collection.
Entries from snapshot are migrated into docs/FAQ
fairly routinely, but the
newest stuff (and some oldies but
goodies) are at snapshot.
DO NOT USE THE .gz FILES AT
SNAPSHOT, they are broken.
5. We support only the current versions
of ntop. This is either:
* the last
release, v2.2c.
* the cvs (and
tell us the last time you did a checkout)
or
* the latest development version posted at
SourceForge
(if there is one
posted)
If you use a port/package and the latest
version available for your
OS is some release candidate
from a year ago, sorry. Contact the
packager and ask
them to get current.
6. Post the information about your environment we
ask for.
We STRONGLY suggest you use the automatically
generated "Problem Report"
form that since it contains
much of the necessary information.
7. Make sure you're in a supported
environment (./configure --showoses).
If it's an
unsupported environment, we're interested in your efforts
to
make ntop work, but we don't have the time, resources,
knowledge and/or
insterest to do it ourselves.
8.
For software 'crashes', please run ntop under the gdb debugger and
capture
the full failure information. Brief instructions
on using gdb are in the
docs/FAQ file.

Hi all,
I'm sorry if this question has been answered thousands of
times already - I couldn't find anywhere to search the mailing list, and
I can't find any information that helps in the docs.
I just installed ntop 2.2 on my gateway, which is running
Gentoo linux (2.4.20 kernel), by using the Gentoo 'emerge ntop' command.
It compiled and installed fine, I set the admin password, I ran it
as a daemon with a web interface on port 3000, and I've set it to monitor eth0
(--interface eth0). I made sure there is traffic on eth0 (typing ifconfig
shows that the TX/RX numbers for eth0 are changing). However, for some reason,
ntop isn't recording any network traffic at all. I can log into the web
interface, and the Configuration section shows that it is indeed using
interface eth0. Anyone have any ideas as to why it's not reporting any
traffic?
Regards,
Oz
